A 19-year-old Opesusi Faith Timilehin took her own life in Ikorodu, Lagos State on Monday after receiving her 2025 UTME (JAMB) result.
The teenager, originally from Abeokuta, had been living with her elder sister in Ikorodu. According to family and neighbours, Timilehin was a calm and respectful young lady with high academic hopes. She had applied to study Microbiology and was said to have scored 190, which was lower than her 2024 result.
“She said her last year’s result was better than this year’s,” a close friend told News Central on the phone.
Timilehin reportedly went to her sister’s office and asked for palm oil to ease the pain after ingesting some poisonous substance. Her sister, unaware of what had happened, initially ignored her request. Moments later, she raised an alarm when Timilehin’s condition worsened, attracting neighbours and sympathisers.
An eyewitness confirmed that efforts to save her life proved futile. She was pronounced dead at a hospital in Odogunyan, Ikorodu.
A family source stated that following the incident, her body has been taken to Abeokuta for burial.
