The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), is in mourning over the death of 20-year-old Hameedat Sanni, who allegedly committed suicide after an online lover scammed her of N500,000.
Hameedat’s trouble started when she met a boy on Snapchat, a social media platform, and loaned him N500,000 after claiming he needed it for his mother’s hospital bill, according to Rubiks, the management of the hostel where she resided.
Hameedat had sourced the money she loaned her online boyfriend from multiple loan Apps. The loan apps mounted pressure on her pay. Depression sets in, and she decided to gulp a bottle of sniper.
“The cause of Suicide was traced to financial misappropriation. She was entrusted with a significant sum of money by her mother. She crossed paths with a guy on Snapchat and developed a friendship.
“When the boy claimed that his mother was battling breast cancer and urgently needed N500,000, the compassionate and emotional lady decided to help him by lending him half of the N1 million she held for her mother. And the boy promised to repay the borrowed money.
“However, when her mother needed the money back, the boy abruptly cut off all up all contact, blocking her. This left her deeply troubled and in order for her to make up the missing N500,000, she resorted to borrowing money from various apps.”
Hameedat, therefore, managed to gather N450,000 from the loan apps, adding her savings of N50,000 to make up the borrowed N500,000.
