In Lagos, the rent for a two-bedroom apartment on Lagos Island has surged to N17.25 million, exacerbating the city's housing affordability crisis. Meanwhile, tragedy struck the Nigerian Law School community when a 23-year-old female student, Faith Alayande, tragically died after reportedly jumping from a four-storey hostel building in Victoria Island.
The Lagos State Police Command confirmed her death, which occurred after she was found unresponsive at the hostel and had written a suicide note. This incident is not the first of its kind, as PUNCH Metro previously reported a similar case involving a Nigerian Law School student in December 2025.
