Nigeria, Feb. 4 -- A 200-level male student of the Mass Communication, University of Ilorin (name withheld) has reportedly committed suicide in Ilorin.

According to the Guardian, the student took a poisonous substance to take his own life at his residence in the Oke-odo axis of Tanke, Ilorin, owing to the current economic hardship in the country.

It was learnt that the deceased ended his life last week when his roommate had left for lectures.

"We just returned to find a suicidal note that explained his inability to cope again and decided to take the substance and died," a friend who preferred anonymity stated.

Prior to his death, the student was on a Cumulative Grade Point Aggregate of 4.5 academic standing.
