Mr. Opesusi Oluwafemi, father of 19-year-old Faith Opesusi Timileyin, who tragically took her own life after scoring low in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has revealed that she d!ed after ingesting rat poison.

Recall that Faith, who intended to study Microbiology in the university, took her own life after seeing her UTME results.

Opesusi told BBC Pidgin on Thursday that the daughter was devastated after discovering that she scored just 146.

“My daughter scored very high in last year’s JAMB result. This year, they gave her 146 and that was what made her drink rat poison.

“She was devastated and disappointed when she saw her results,” he said.

According to him, the daughter did not open up. “If she had opened up, we would have consoled and told her that there is hope.”

Recall that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede on Wednesday admitted that there were errors in the just concluded 2025 UTME.

Oloyede, who broke down in tears while addressing journalists on Wednesday, apologized to affected candidates.

The errors, according to Oloyede, affected at least 379,997 candidates.
