A 100-level Mass Communication student of Taraba State University, Comfort Jimtop Oliver, has been found dead at her boyfriend’s residence in Jalingo.

Her lifeless body was discovered on Friday, September 12, 2025, in a room located in the Bakasi area of Jalingo, near Dr. Rapha’s quarters, opposite the Vice-Chancellor’s gate.

Comfort, a native of Takum Local Government Area and a member of the Kuteb ethnic group, reportedly died under unclear circumstances. Authorities have since launched an investigation to determine the cause of her death.
