A wild drama played out at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, on Saturday when two students of the institution poured an insecticide, Sniper, on each other.
The female freshers were said to have engaged in a disagreement before attacking themselves with Sniper.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, one of the students explained that, trouble started when one of the roommates accused her mate of infesting the room with bedbugs.
She said, “While one of the students poured the Sniper on her colleague’s face, the other targeted her opponent’s mouth.”

“We initially thought they were joking. All of a sudden, one of them poured Sniper on the other.
“We all shouted that it was unfair to do that but she said she was trying to kill bedbugs. The other one didn’t take it lightly; she started shouting and attempted to retaliate but we blocked her. We later reported the case to the hall warden and the case was resolved.
“When we got to the hostel, she started feeling pains and she suddenly took the Sniper and poured it on her opponent’s body too. One of us rushed to the school porter and she made calls. The two of them were then taken to the health centre.”
