A O Subair, a lecturer in the
mathematics department of the University of Ibadan, has taken his life.
A non-academic member of staff of
the university revealed that the deceased was suspected to have set his
apartment located at senior staff quarters, Phillipson Road, inside the
university, on fire before drinking poisonous substance.
“His room was the only part not
engulfed in the fire… there were no fire burns on his body but there’s there’s
a possibility that he might have poisoned himself and set the house on fire so
it would seem like an accident,” the official, who did not want to be named,
said.
Another source said he choked to
death during a fire outbreak in his apartment.
He was said to have suffered from
depression before his demise, fuelling speculations that he might have taken
his own life.
The lecturer, described as the
“most brilliant” in the department, was said to have been on his PhD for 22
years without confirmation.
He was said to have resigned from
the department in 2018 but the head of department allegedly did not process his
resignation.
“That led to psychological issues
and he transferred it to his family and caused a separation between them,” a
source revealed.
“Before then, he would lock
himself inside his office and will not allow anybody to enter.
“Instead of them to seek help,
they left him. The family members said it has been over a year they heard from
him. They called him, sent messages and emails and he would not respond.”
