A female student of the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, Sanni Hameedat, has reportedly committed suicide after giving N500,000 to a guy she met on social media app Snapchat. It was gathered that the 20-year-old student was undergoing her Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) programme, before the incident happened.

She was said to have lent the N500,000 belonging to her mother to a social media lover who happened to be a scammer. Prior to her death, she endeavoured to refund the money by borrowing from loan app agents, who mounted more pressure on her. A statement issued by the school management confirmed that the unfortunate death of the student has been linked to pressure from the loan app agents, who demanded quick payback.

“When the boy claimed that his mother was battling breast cancer and urgently needed N500,000, the compassionate and emotional lady decided to help him by lending him half of the N1 million she held for her mother. And the boy promised to repay the borrowed money. “However, when her mother needed the money back, the boy abruptly cut off all contact, blocking her. This left her deeply troubled and in order for her to make up the missing N500,000, she resorted to borrowing money from various apps.
