The ongoing strike of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU took a different turn on Saturday at the
Dutse-Alhaji area of Abuja when a female student of the
University of Abuja made to hang herself in protest of the
nearly four months old strike.
The female student identified as Jane Okoro had already
hanged herself, but fell off the ceiling while struggling,
apparently because the rope she used was not strong
enough.
Jane had sent her two younger brothers on an errand, just a
way of sending them out of the house to be able to carry
out the abominable act, but one of the brothers returned
after 15 minutes and saw her on the floor with a rope tied
round her neck while another rope dangled from the ceiling
fan. The 15 year old boy raised the alarm, thinking that his
sister was dead, attracting neighbours and other onlookers
into their compound. However, it was discovered by those
who got there first, that Jane was alive as it was only a
suicide attempt.
The boy, who was identified as Andrew had told our
correspondent that the sister was behaving so strange
throughout that morning. He said, " She was to go to the
market with my mum, but said she was not feeling too
well. While we were at home with her, she refused to talk.
She was always on her Blackberry. Shortly after she had
her bath, she sent us to First-Gate (market), but I left some
money I wanted to use to buy my personal stuff at home, so
upon return, I saw her on the floor of our parlour. I even
thought she was dead, so I shouted."
Meanwhile, the mother who returned from the market
immediately after the news got to her had told our
correspondent in tears that, her daughter must have
attempted to commit suicide because of the ongoing ASUU
strike. She said, I will ask her questions on why she wanted
to do this to us. She has been complaining to me about this
ASUU strike. She said, at her age, she should have been
done with school, and begin to take care of the children and
I. Her father is late. I know that only this week, she had
complained to me up to 6 times on how frustrating this
strike has been. I know other things may have contributed,
but ASUU strike may have contributed the most; but for
whatever reason, it was devilish for my daughter to have
attempted suicide." She said.
Asked what she was going to do about the situation, she
said " I will take her to my Pastor this evening. She needs
prayers. We need somebody to talk to her. God will do the
miracle for me. I didn't do anything to anybody. I must not
suffer for nothing. She is already in her third year in
school. What would I have done if this had happened?"
Attempt to speak with Jane failed as she could not respond
to questions from our correspondent. The only statement
she muttered was " It was a better option".
The mother had later asked our correspondent to leave her
to rest. She said " she will talk to you after we see our
Pastor. She will give the testimony herself."
However, a female friend of Jane who had pleaded not to
be mentioned showed our correspondent her recent
conversation with Jane on her Blackberry. She said " my
last chat with her was on this very ASUU strike. See what
she posted, " I tire for these ASUU peopleoooo" She
showed our correspondent the chat.
