Speaking on the demise of the student, one of his classmates who pleaded to remain anonymous, said Emmanuel suffered depression after a failed business deal. However, another source who commented on the matter said the deceased did not look like he was depressed when he was seen near the Conference Centre of the university on Monday.

Confirming the incident when contacted by newsmen, the Public Relations Officer of the University, Abiodun Olanrewaju, said “The name of the student is Adedeji Emmanuel, a part two student of the Department of Management and Accounting.

“We appeal to parent and guidance to please let our children know that failure or depression occasioned by whatever, suicide should not be an option.
