A student of the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State, fondly referred to as HOD, just a few days ago, has reportedly taken his own life.

HOD reportedly called his close friends on Wednesday to tell them that he was going on a journey of no return after which he drank the infamous lethal pesticide, Sniper, which has become a popular choice for suicidal Nigerians.

His friends and classmates have since taken to social media to mourn the loss.

A friend, Chinedu Valentine who shared the sad news wrote:
