500 level Computer Engineering first class student of Uniben (University of Benin), identified simply as Adam, reportedly committed suicide on Thursday evening shortly after he returned home from classes.
It was gathered that the Uniben student who is said to be a Bipolar disorder patient (once known as manic depression or manic-depressive disorder), charged his phone, washed his clothes, then went inside his room and hanged himself within 20 minutes of locking the door.
His lifeless body was only discovered when his sister, who came from Ekenwa campus of the Universsity, forced the door open.
This is coming after Esegine Rickson, the detained 300-level student of the University of Benin, explained the circumstances surrounding the death of his church member to the Students’ Union Government of the institution, saying he has no hand in the death.
Rickson, a pastor, a bus driver and two others are being detained at the Edo State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department.
PUNCH Metro had reported that the detainees were returning from a retreat at a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God on Sapele Road, Benin, Edo State, on Sunday, July 2, when they encountered a speeding truck.
The Dean of Students’ Affairs, UNIBEN, Prof. Benson Osadolor, had said efforts to secure Rickson’s release on bail so he could sit for the ongoing exams had proved abortive.
However, the PRO Students’ Union Government of the institution, Ehiabhi Goodnews, told PUNCH Metro that Rickson gave a “blow-by-blow account” of the incident when a delegate of the SUG visited him in detention
