A 20-year-old student of the University of Ilorin, Sanni Hameedat, has reportedly committed suicide over N500,000 unpaid loan from an online loan platform.

Hameedat was confirmed dead at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) on Wednesday.

The source who disclosed the information said the cause of her death was not unrelated to the pressure from the loan shark agents, who were pressuring her after she defaulted on her repayment plan.

It was gathered that Hameedat had drunk Sniper before the porters in her hostel called for an ambulance to rush her to the hospital.
