It was a tragic incident at Ebonyi State University as a student, identified as Favour Ugwuka, allegedly committed suicide in her hostel in Ishieke, Abakaliki.
This heartbreaking incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the academic pressures faced by students.
A video shared by a 9News Nigeria correspondent features Favour's distraught mother, who blames a lecturer for her daughter’s tragic decision. "Dr. Enyi said he is the best, nobody can teach like him. He should come and carry my daughter who has committed suicide," the grieving mother exclaimed.
Further insights come from Rex Nwome, a graduate of the institution, who revealed that Favour had been struggling with a particular course, repeatedly failing despite her efforts. "Favour was my classmate and a best friend in the English department. The mentioned lecturer vowed never to allow her to graduate. She passed all her courses except for his, and she paid for an extra year’s tuition to retake it, but he failed her again," Nwome explained.
