It’s has been one comment after the other since the ugly incident of a student of the University Of Lagos broke, the” temple” has died but the “shadow” is still there, the shadow of a once lovely student who took her own life after she was humiliated by an alleged theft of some personal belongings of her friends.
Dailyfamily.ng got in touch with some students in Unilag on how they felt about the whole story.
But first, it’s is pertinent to read the narration of Ajani Damilola who penned down the gory tale of the 100 level Unilag student who took her own life after she was accused of stealing.
“An incident happened in her room (Amina Hostel) which involved the missing of belongings (which includes makeup and clothes) of another girl in d same room.
On Thursday, some of the belongings of d fellow room mate was found in Ayomide’s bag
(scattered in three different bags – makeup in one of her bag, clothes in another bag and clothes in another bag making 3 of Ayomide’s bag).
“As a result, the roommates disgraced Ayo and called her many names( relating to a thief) and disgraced her publicly. Ayomide called her mom and her mom came down next day(Friday) to settle d issue. The makeup was valued at #2000 in which Her mum paid. After that, her mum told her to pack her bags and follow her home which she did but as she was going d roommates shouted on her and called her so many names.
“Her mum took her home and went back to work (her mum is a unilag staff). Ayomide was d only one left at home when she took sniper in the afternoon. Her mum came back in d evening and saw her child in a critical state. So she asked what happened to her; Ayomide just stretched her hand to do a bottle of the sniper she took. Immediately her mum gave her palm oil( epo in Yoruba) but results were not forthcoming. So she rushed her to a medical centre at ebute meat, still, results were not favourable, she was then taken to Luth ( Medilag). Ayo gave up in LUTH around after 7 yesterday. REST IN PEACE AYOMIDE!!!!”
Below are the comments from different sources.
“That girl made a very big mistake by killing herself if she knows her conscience is clear. May her soul rest in peace. Thunder go fire the idiot dat did this to her.” said Emera
“may her soul rest in peace, but taking her life was not the solution, I wasn’t there, so can’t tell what really happened ” blessing
“Foolish school girls after her mother had settled the dispute. They still shamed her to taking her own life, over stupid things SMH” uche eze via facebook post
“I condone with her relatives and totally condemn every form of suicide. Nothing is worth taking ur life for. ..the accusations would have passed after some time. But I also want to advise people to STOP?? giving palm oil wen sm1 ard u takes any form of poison.It further puts d victim in serious condition.Pls gv lots of water or milk first, then find ur way to the hospital asap. May God help us!” Iwuoha
