The incident occurred on his private land on the Oke-Odo axis of the Tanke village in Ilorin, the state capital.
According to university sources, the deceased committed suicide due to financial issues.
It was also disclosed that the deceased’s father died a few years ago, and that his mother, a retired schoolteacher, had assumed financial responsibility for his schooling since then.
The deceased’s financial woes allegedly began when he returned to school last year.
The incident is thought to have spurred his coworkers to raise funds to cover his tuition and buy food for him.
However, it was determined that the deceased chose to take a lethal poison last weekend, shortly after his housemate had left for lectures, and left a note for his flatmate blaming his inability to cope with his financial situation as the reason for his suicide.
It was determined that his flatmate had raised the alarm about the incident when they returned from classes.
A top administrative officer in the school’s management, who sought anonymity, confirmed the incident to journalists in Ilorin on Tuesday.
He described the occurrence as alarming and added that it had caused the university and its students anguish.
