UNILAG Medical Student Reportedly Commits Sucide by Tijanix24(m): 10:37pm On Sep 02
A 300-level medical student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), identified as Williams, has tragically passed away just a day before the school's examinations were set to begin.

While speaking with Premium Times, the provost of the college, Professor David Oke, noted that the student may have decided to take his life due to pressure of the impending examination.


He based his suspicion on the fact that some colleagues of the student had reported that he posted a cryptic message, such as ‘goodbye,’ before he was found dead.

The Provost noted that the management of the College will conduct an autopsy on his remains after a meeting with his parents today, Monday

“As of now, we cannot authoritatively say, this is the cause of the death but a suspicion that it could be suicide, but no definite conclusion yet.


“They are supposed to start exams tomorrow (Monday), and some of his colleagues mentioned that he had posted a cryptic message, such as ‘goodbye,’ which they didn’t interpret as a red flag at the time,” he said.


The Association of Medical Students, University of Lagos (AMSUL), has also confirmed the death of the student in a WhatsApp message.

The message reads: “Dear AMSULites, It is with great sadness that we share the news of the recent passing of a beloved AMSULite in the Genezens class

“As we navigate this difficult time, we encourage everyone to keep the departed and their family in your thoughts and prayers. Please reach out to your classmates, and friends, especially those in the Genezens class, and offer your support.



“Let’s stand together, showing compassion and care for one another during this challenging period.”

Same way the fear of Biochemistry almost pushed me. Med students especially in part 3 need to look out for others.
It's so unfortunate the medical school system in this part of the world is designed to make you fail.

Suicide shouldn't always be an option

I get worried when I read stuffs like this. Medical schools are where Doctors are trained to look after us, imagine a student of such Medical school falling into depression without anybody picking that up. Even his fellow Medical students didn't see anything wrong with a cryptic message as clear as "Goodbye", again we failed him.
Mental health is crucial

May his soul Rest In Peace, life is unpredictable, cruel and brutal, millions fall into depression daily and it’s one of the worst conditions a living person can pass through, I have experienced it for just a year but it felt like 30years, medical science don’t even have any clear answer for it, I defeated it completely by the power of Jesus Christ the only genuine power in the universe

How I would end is not subject to your discussion! What I know is that anyone who kills himself is going to hell!

And Christians says Jesus sent himself to be killed too! Close to suicide too!

Though not enough reason but their 3rd year is actually hard and a big factor to their progress.

Very tragic indeed. The prestige that comes with earning admission into CMUL is a price so huge that many students and parents seriously and desperately seek and sacrifice to the point that many sometimes forget the impact of this toll on their mental health.

There should be mental health support to students in very highly competitive environments like the University of Lagos. There is a raging battle in your brain till you see the last result of your final exams!

May God console his family and friends.

Medical school is not easy especially when preparing sitting for a professional exam. But it doesn't worth one taking his own life if that is the reason.

MBBS examination is done at 300 level. It is an external exam and very tough. Once you fail twice, you have reached the end of the road.

Medical courses are tough and very expensive abroad. I'm referring to U.K, U.S, Canada.
