27-Year-Old Law School Student Dies After Jumping Fence At Yola Campus

The Adamawa State Police Command has begun a detailed investigation into the death of 27-year-old Ojajuni Ayomiposi, a student of the Nigerian Law School, Yola Campus. The incident marks the first time the nearly 20-year-old institution has recorded the loss of a student.

In a statement released on Sunday night, the command confirmed the development, noting that Ojajuni, an indigene of Ondo State, was discovered unconscious after jumping over the school fence. The statement stated, “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.”

Preliminary findings show that the student returned to the campus on December 6, 2025, around 11:30 a.m. He reportedly arrived in a tricycle, appeared unstable as he approached the fence, and then climbed over it into the hostel compound. A security guard later found him vomiting and lying unconscious.

Ojajuni was rushed to a nearby hospital and admitted for emergency care, but doctors eventually confirmed his death.

His remains have been deposited in the mortuary for an autopsy as investigators work to uncover the cause and circumstances of the incident.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, has directed officers to carry out a comprehensive probe to determine what led to the tragic outcome.
