400L Babcock University Student Commits Suicide At RCCG Redemption Camp

A 400-level Computer Science student of Babcock University, identified as Olaoluwa Subomi Lawson, has reportedly taken his own life at his father’s residence in Redemption Camp City, Ogun State.

Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident was formally reported on Tuesday by a relative, who resides in Festac Town, Lagos.

The sources disclosed that the family received distressing information from the deceased’s mother, Olufunke Lawson, who resides in the United Kingdom.

She informed the family that her son had taken his life by hanging himself inside his room.

Finding reveals  that Lawson was suspended for a year by the university management for examination malpractice. His mates are billed to graduate  on July 27, 2025.

The Director of Communication and Marketing of the university, Dr Joshua Suleiman, reportedly confirmed the sad incident.

He explained that the deceased faced the university disciplinary committee for examination malpractice; and was found guilty. This  attracted the one-year academic suspension.

Suleiman said Lawson has not even collected his suspension letter before he took his life, adding that it was suspected that he got wind of the suspension.

“The school is aware of the tragic incident. He was a 400-level Computer Science student. He faced the university disciplinary committee for examination malpractice; he was found guilty and handed a one-year academic suspension.

“He has not even come for his suspension letter, maybe he got to know about the suspension. But we don’t know whatever happened, thereafter, we only heard that the student took his life”, Suleiman stated.
