Olanrewaju said he learnt that the deceased showed some symptoms of depression which might have led to her decision to end it all.

“The university under the administration of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Simeon Bamire is pained that a student of that tender age could resolve to such thing. 

“We appeal to Nigerians to be our brother’s keeper. The filler we are getting is that she has suffered depression and people around her knew all this. They ought to have refer her to someone elderly or someone who could be of help to her on psycho-emotional assistant.

“We sympathize with ourselves, especially the parent who lost a young future bright lady.
