…gets admission 30 minutes after death
19-year-old Opesusi Faith Timilehin has reportedly committed suicide in Odogunyan, Ikorodu, Lagos State on Monday after receiving her 2025 UTME (JAMB) result.
She was said to have ingested a substance known locally as Push Out–a common rodent poison when she received her UTME result which showed she scored 190, which she considered lower than her 2024 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 woman with high academic hopes.
She had applied to study Microbiology and was deeply disappointed by her score of 190.
“She said her last year’s result was better than this year’s,” a close friend said.

After ingesting the rodent poison, Timilehin reportedly went to her sister’s office and asked for palm oil to ease the pain. 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 Timilehin eventually confessed on the way to the hospital that she had consumed poison at home before visiting her sister’s workplace.
Efforts to save her life proved futile. She was pronounced dead at Kolak Hospital, Odogunyan.
“The shocking revelation is that she was given an admission message via her Gmail yesterday, immediately after she was confirmed dead at Kolak Hospital, Odogunyan, Ikorodu, Lagos,” a family source stated. Following the incident, her grieving parents arrived from Abeokuta and took her body home for burial.
