Maikeffi Redemption Sarah, 21, a Microbiology student of the Nasarawa State University (NSUK), Keffi, has reportedly taken her own life.
The female student tragically took her own life by ingesting a poisonous substance.
It’s believed that deep emotions and depression led to this incident, which occurred at an off-campus lodge near the Family and Friends Hotel area, opposite the State University at the weekend.
Confirmation of the incident came from her male friend who shared the news on Facebook, as reported by Vanguard.
“We spoke with her Thursday evening and she was to come to Akwanga from Keffi, attend a wedding today Saturday, then go back tomorrow Sunday, just for me to hear of her sudden death” he said.
It was gathered that some students and neighbours made efforts to save her from the unfortunate incident by using palm oil but it proved abortive.
