A video showing the moment a 400-level student of Babcock University was prevented by his roommates from jumping through a hostel window in an apparent suicide attempt has sparked reactions online. The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday night, November 8, 2026, with the student’s colleagues making desperate efforts to stop him during the struggle.
However, reports indicated that a broken piece of glass severed an artery, leaving the student bleeding heavily. Sources familiar with the incident claimed he was rushed to a clinic, where he received medical attention and was stabilised.
Some sources also alleged that the student was under the influence of a substance popularly known as ‘colos’, dismissing claims that the incident was linked to losses from sports betting involving Chelsea. However, the circumstances surrounding the incident have not been independently confirmed.
The student’s current condition also remains unclear, although some individuals familiar with the development have claimed that he survived the incident.
The video has also triggered concern among students, with reports of fears that those who recorded and shared the incident could face disciplinary action.
In the footage circulating online, the student’s roommates could be seen struggling to prevent him from going through the window.
While some social media platforms, including Instablog9ja, initially reported that the student sustained serious injuries after falling from the hostel window and died, a man identified as Dele Ogunmola disputed the claims.
Taking to the comment section of a popular blog, Ogunmola insisted that the student did not fall and had been taken to the hospital for medical assessment.
He wrote, “He didn’t fall, he has been taken care of. We thank God. He was taken to the hospital for screening. He was suspected to have taken substance.”
