Samuel Adegoke, a student at the Federal Polytechnic in Ilaro, Ogun State, reportedly quit on Monday after losing his friend's tuition and his own due to internet betting.
According to information obtained, the deceased allegedly used his school tuition to wager online on Friday but lost. Adegoke, an Electrical Electronic Engineering National Diploma II student, reportedly put a halt to it all on Monday when his classmates were getting ready for their first semester exams.
He reportedly stole the password from his roommate's pal, used it to play with his money, and lost himself. It was learned that the school had issued a warning that no student would be permitted to sit for a test if their registration was incomplete.
According to reports, Adegoke was taken urgently to the school clinic, where he was treated before being sent on to a specialist hospital outside the school in Ilaro and declared dead.
