He was reportedly rushed to the school clinic from where he was later referred to a specialist hospital outside the school in Ilaro before he was pronounced dead.

The polytechnic spokesman, Sola Abiala, confirmed the incident on Wednesday, May 24.

“The Rector said he was called from the school clinic that one of the students is sick. Adegoke Samuel, ND 2 in Electrical Electronic Engineering was later referred to Hosanah specialist hospital. When they got there, they got the information that he used his school fees to bet and lose. He also used his roommate’s to bet and also lost,” Abala said.

"We have a policy here that any student that does not pay school fees will not write the examination. He realized that he and his friend would not write the exam, and that was why he committed suicide.

“We sent for his parents and briefed them. His father told us that his late son did the same last session and he had to send money to him to pay the fees. He said if he had known about the latest one, he would have paid for it.”

He was handed over to the police and during interrogation, he claimed he saw the cutlass, bucket, and mask at the boundary of the deceased farm.

The Public Relations Officer of the command, Mrs Funmi Odunlami, who spoke on behalf of the Commissioner also revealed that seven people have been arrested for cult-related killings in Ondo.

Suspected Herdsmen Rape 80-year-old Woman To Death On Her Farmland In Ondo

 An 80-year-old woman has reportedly been raped to death inside her farm by hoodlums suspected to be herders in Costain area of Ore, Odigbo Council Area of Ondo State.

According to the report, the incident had caused anxiety within the town and neighboring communities.

A local who spoke with newsmen said that the victim had been missing for days after she left for the farm only for her corpse to be found a few days after, Vanguard reports.

She was reportedly stripped naked after she was raped by her attackers.

A source in the town said “This is not the first time we’re witnessing this ugly incident, several women have been raped in their farms by these hoodlums suspected to be herdsmen.

”The fear of being attacked has prevented women from going to their farms alone for some time now. Why they picked on this old woman remained a mystery to us in the community.

“The octogenarian was alleged to have been raped before she was murdered by her attacker on her farm. What would have attracted them to an 80-year-old woman? They just wasted her. Maybe she recognized some of her attackers. That’s why they killed her.
“Her gruesome death was sad and unfortunate. We appeal to security agencies and the state government to come to our rescue in Ore. The hoodlums are having a field day and taking advantage of our women.
“Our amiable governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, should help deploy the state security outfit codenamed Amotekun, to our community. We’re passionately appealing to him.”

Meanwhile, a police source said that a suspect, a palm wine tapper, had been arrested.
The suspect was arrested by some youths in the community.

They reportedly found in his possession the telephone of the victim.

The state police image maker, Funmi Odunlami, confirmed the arrest of the suspect adding that the incident was a case of rape and murder.
