Deputy Registrar of Yaba College of Technology, Joe Ejiofor, says the student who drank insecticide after a breakup with her boyfriend is alive and responding well to treatment.
Ejiofor disclosed this to newsmen on Friday, saying that the school management, led by Acting Rector, Uduak Inyang-Udoh, and Dean of Students, Tunji Balogun, had visited and confirmed her state.
The Registrar further said that although the young girl drank some chemical substance suspected to be sniper, she was quickly rescued following an alarm raised by her roommate on Wednesday.

“This is to inform the college community and the general public that there is no iota of truth in the rumour making the rounds about Destiny, the ND1 Marketing student who attempted suicide being dead.
“The College management has visited her and we can authoritatively say that she’s alive, and responding well to treatment her parents have been contacted and they are with her in the hospital.
“Her roommate who saw her taking the substance raised alarm and she was quickly taken to the College Medical Centre where she was attended to and stabilised by the Medical Director, Dr Tunde Nubi, and his team,” he said.
Recall that earlier this week, a video of the Yaba tech student who attempted to commit suicide for being dumped by her boyfriend circulated on social media.
