The Adamawa State Police Command has launched an investigation into the death of a student at the Yola Campus of the Nigerian Law School, following reports that he allegedly took his own life after being barred from sitting for his final examination.
The student, identified as Olajuni Ayomiposi, reportedly died after being rushed to a hospital in Yola in a critical condition. The police confirmed the incident on Sunday night.
“The Adamawa State Police Command confirms the report of an unfortunate incident involving a 27-year-old student of the Nigerian Law School, Yola Campus, identified as Ojajuni Ayo, an indigene of Ondo State,” the command said in a statement signed by police image maker Sulaiman Nguroje.
Nguroje added, “On the 07/12/2025, the Command received a report from the Chief Security Officer of the institution, that on 06/12/2025 at about 11:30 am, a student named Ojajuni Ayomiposi returned to the campus in a tricycle, visibly staggering, and jumped over the fence into the hostel premises.
“Shortly after, a security guard went to check on him and found him vomiting and lying unconscious. He was immediately rushed to the nearby Hospital where he was admitted and later confirmed dead while receiving treatment.”
The police said Ayomiposi’s body has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for autopsy, while investigations continue.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, has ordered a discreet and thorough investigation into the incident to uncover the circumstances surrounding the student’s death,” Nguroje stated further.
Initial reports suggested that Ayomiposi had ingested a harmful substance, believed to be rat poison, on Saturday, December 6, after he was reportedly prevented from taking his bar examination due to failure to meet attendance requirements and unanswered queries from school authorities.
