Tragedy struck on Thursday as a 14-year-old JSS 3 student simply identified as Aishat allegedly took her own life after her lover allegedly threatened to kill her for cheating on him in Illorin, Kwara State.

Aishat, a student of Burihanudeen UBE School, Isale-Koko Ilorin, was said to have drank a poisonous substance suspected to be insecticide.
