Yola Law School Student Allegedly Commits Suicide Over Inability To Write Final Exam
Adamawa State Police Command says it has commenced investigations into the saga leading to the death of one, Olajuni Ayomiposi at the Yola Campus of the Nigeria Law School.
The deceased, a student, allegedly committed suicide after he was stopped from writing his final examination.
The command in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Sulaiman Nguroje, said: “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.
“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 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 added that Ayomiposi’s corpse has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for autopsy, while investigation is ongoing.
“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 accounts had it that Ayomiposi had on Saturday, December 6, taken a harmful substance after he was denied entrance for his bar examination that began that day.
It was said that he had taken ill after swallowing the substance said to be rat poison, was taken to the nearby Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, and had died by the morning of Sunday, December 7.
One of the accounts had alleged that Ayomiposi was barred from his examination because he did not answer queries directed to him by the school authority.
It was further alleged that he did not have the required 75 per cent attendance and could therefore not have qualified to sit for the examination.
