An undergraduate of the Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, Aduba Daniel, reportedly committed suicide by drinking a deadly insecticide known locally as ‘Sniper’ after discovering that he had carry-overs in four courses. Daniel was found writhing in pain and immediately rushed to a hospital in the Amassoma area, where it was realised that he had drunk the whole bottle.The incident, as sad as it is, is the latest among several cases of suicide recorded in Nigerian universities between 2017 and 2018.
