“At this point, to die is peace for me” – UI Faculty President battling health problems goes missing after writing 26-page suicide note to friends
A faculty President at the University of Ibadan, Jude Nicholas, has been declared missing by family and friends.
It was gathered that Nicholas who was battling a serious health challenge sent two of his friends a 26-page suicide note, detailing his predicament.
According to the note, his trouble started in 2017 when he had surgery for a hernia. During the surgery, the doctor tampered with a major vein that supplies blood from his heart to his legs. Since then, he’s been going in and out of the hospital.
He revealed the damaged veins became varicose veins and risks becoming gangrene which could lead to amputation.
Adding photos of the leg in the suicide note, Nicholas said he kept his health challenges to himself, using whatever money he had to treat himself until he became so bad that he began visiting the hospital up to three times each week.
He later opened up to a lecturer in a bid to get help from the University of Ibadan, but all effort to get help roved abortively.
A friend who shared the suicide note on social media, while raising alarm on his whereabouts revealed Nicholas has gone missing since he sent the note.
