AO Subair, a lecturer in the mathematics department of the University of Ibadan, has taken his life.

A non-academic member of staff of the university said that the deceased was suspected to have set his apartment located at senior staff quarters, Phillipson Road, inside the university, on fire before drinking poisonous substance.

“His room was the only part not engulfed in the fire… there were no fire burns on his body but there’s there’s a possibility that he might have poisoned himself and set the house on fire so it would seem like an accident,” the official, who did not want to be named, said.

Another source said he choked to death during a fire outbreak in his apartment.

According to reports, Subair had resigned as a lecturer but was still residing on campus.
