The Adamawa State Police Command has opened a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of a student of the Nigerian Law School, Yola Campus, identified as Olajuni Ayomiposi.
In a statement issued Sunday night, the Command said it had received a report on the incident and had begun examining all accounts linked to the matter.
“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 statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer, Sulaiman Nguroje, read.
According to Nguroje:
“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.”
Police authorities said the body has been deposited in a hospital mortuary for autopsy, while further inquiries are underway to determine what led to the student’s collapse and eventual death.
Nguroje added: “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.”
Earlier, unverified accounts had circulated suggesting that Ayomiposi had been distressed after being prevented from taking his bar examination.
Some narratives also claimed he had been denied entry due to issues relating to administrative queries and alleged insufficient attendance.
The Police Command noted that all circulating claims will be scrutinized as part of its ongoing investigation.
