Sanni Hameedat, a 20-year-old University of Ilorin student in Nigeria, has allegedly committed suicide after lending N500,000 to a boy she met on the social media platform Snapchat.
It was learnt that Hameedat was undergoing her SIWES programme before the incident happened.
The school hostel management claimed that the pressure from the app agents, who demanded immediate repayment, combined with her brother’s inability to assist her financially, contributed to her death.
When the boy claimed that his mother was battling breast cancer and urgently needed five hundred thousand Naira, 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.
