The Adamawa State Police Command has opened a full investigation into the death of 27-year-old Nigerian Law School student, Ojajuni Ayomiposi, at the Yola Campus — the first student death recorded since the school was established nearly two decades ago.
The command confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday night, noting that Ojajuni, an indigene of Ondo State, was discovered unconscious shortly after jumping over the school fence. The statement read, “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 Ayomiposi.”
According to preliminary reports, the incident happened on December 6, 2025, around 11:30 a.m. Ojajuni had returned to the campus in a tricycle, appeared unsteady, and made his way toward the fence, which he climbed to enter the hostel side of the compound. A security guard later spotted him vomiting and unconscious.
He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, but doctors pronounced him dead after efforts to stabilize him failed.
His body has been placed in the mortuary for an autopsy, while investigators continue piecing together events leading to his death.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, has directed detectives to conduct a comprehensive inquiry to determine what happened and why.
