Tuesday, May 13, 2025 - 19-year-old Opesusi Faith Timilehin has allegedly committed su!cide in Lagos State after scoring 190 in the just-released Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) result.
According to the Guardian Newspaper, Timilehin took ‘Push
Out’ rodent poison on Monday, May 12, 2025.
Timilehin, from Abeokuta, lived at Odogunyan in Ikorodu of
the state with her elder sibling.
Neighbours and residents have 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 the publication.
According to information, neighbours started noticing
unusual behaviour in her when Timilehin, at her elder sister’s office, demanded
palm oil to douse the pains she was experiencing after taking the poison at
home.
Her sister, who initially didn’t know the cause, ignored
her, only to later raise an alarm that attracted sympathisers to the scene.
An eyewitness said Timilehin later confessed on the way to
the hospital to having taken poison at home before coming to her sister’s
office.
She was said to have scored more than her current 190 in the
previous JAMB result in 2024.
Ironically, JAMB gave her provisional admission just about
30 minutes after she was confirmed d3ad at Kolak Hospital in Odogunyan.
"The shocking revelation is that she was given an
admission message via her Gmail yesterday, immediately after she was confirmed
d3ad at Kolak Hospital, Odogunyan, Ikorodu, Lagos,” the source stated.
Meanwhile, Timilehin’s parents, on hearing the sad news, arrived in
Ikorodu, allegedly to pick her remains back to Abeokuta for burial, leaving the
residents to rain curses on JAMB.
