UTME: 19-yr-old commits suicide over ‘low score’, gets ission notice 30 minutes later

Nineteen-year-old Opesusi Faith Timilehin on Monday took ‘Push Out’ rodent poison after scoring 190 in the just-released results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), organised by the t ission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

Timilehin, from Abeokuta, lived at Odogunyan in Ikorodu, Lagos State, with her elder sibling.
The Guardian Newspaper learnt that neighbors and residents mourned Timilehin, whom they described as “gentle and humble.”

A family source said the deceased, who applied for microbiology, also sat for the same examination last year.

“She said her last year’s result was better than this year’s,” one of her close allies (name withheld) told our correspondent on the phone.

According to information, Timilehin scored higher than her current 190 in the previous JAMB result in 2024.

Ironically, JAMB gave her provisional ission just about 30 minutes after she was confirmed dead at Kolak Hospital in Odogunyan.

“The shocking revelation is that she was given an ission message via her Gmail yesterday, immediately after she was confirmed dead at Kolak Hospital, Odogunyan, Ikorodu, Lagos,” the source stated.

Meanwhile, Timilehin’s parents, on hearing the sad news, arrived in Ikorodu, allegedly to pick up her remains back to Abeokuta for burial, leaving the residents to rain curses on JAMB for the general mass failure recorded in the examination.

Interesting. There might be an underlying psychological disorder or syndrome. Although some people commit suicide over seemingly minor events, there is usually an underlying condition triggered by the incident. Sadly, the mental health management system in Nigeria is not far from terrible. May the dead rest wherever he is destined.

Is just the way parents talk to their children after poor performance that led to all of this. I learnt to encourage my children in all performance and they tend to look up to that. We're too harsh to our children sometimes. May her soul rest in peace

Ha. No matter what you’re going through, ending your life is never an option because what is on the side you are going may be worse than what you are experiencing here.
