Adamawa State Police Command has provided more details regarding the reported suicide at the Yola Campus of the Nigeria Law School.

The Command stated on Sunday night that it had launched an investigation into the case of Olajuni Ayomiposi, a student who allegedly took his own life after being prevented from sitting for his final examination.

“The Adamawa State Police Command confirms the 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 statement, signed by police spokesman Sulaiman Nguroje, read.

Nguroje explained, “On 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 hostel fence.

“Shortly after, a security guard went to check on him and found him vomiting and unconscious. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital where he was admitted but was later confirmed dead while receiving treatment.”

The police added that Ayomiposi’s body has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for autopsy, and investigations are ongoing.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, has ordered a discreet and thorough investigation into the incident to determine the circumstances surrounding the student’s death,” Nguroje added.

Preliminary reports indicate that Ayomiposi reportedly ingested a harmful substance on Saturday, December 6, after being denied access to his bar examination. He was taken to the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital but died the following morning.

It was further reported that the student may have been barred from the examination for failing to respond to queries from school authorities and for not meeting the required 75 percent attendance threshold necessary to sit for the exam.
