Punch Metro learnt from the aggrieved students that the tertiary institution had been promising them that the backlog of results would be cleared and students who were yet to be mobilized for the National Youth Service Corps scheme would be settled.
However, a source, who was privy to Monday’s incident, told Punch correspondent that Ogbeide became frustrated and decided to end his life over the matter.
Meanwhile, the school, through the Head of Corporate Communications and Protocol, Mike Aladenika, had told PUNCH Metro that the students affected by certificate and result issues might have had issues with some courses during their time in school.
“If you had graduated and done all you were asked to do while you were a student, you would not have problems with your results.
“Some of the students who did not take cognizance of the deficiencies they had with their courses are the ones facing these challenges,” Aladenika stated.
A graduate of Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma, Edo State, identified as
Precious Ogbeide, has attempted suicide over the alleged university’s refusal
to issue him and several other students their results after they graduated
from school in 2018.
Punch correspondent learnt that Ogbeide, whose parents claimed he had been battling depression due to his inability to be issued his results after spending five years in the school, started to stab himself with pieces of a bottle he had broken.
Some aggrieved students of the school had lamented the inability to receive their degree results after spending five years undergoing the programme, claiming that the situation had demoralised them.
According to them, they are facing a bleak future as a result of the development.
