Faith Alayande, a 23-year-old law student at the Nigerian Law School, died on August 7, 2026 after allegedly jumping from the rooftop of a four-storey hostel building at the school's Victoria Island campus in Lagos, according to the Lagos State Police Command. The student's body was discovered unresponsive in the hostel premises on Friday, and her suicide note was found before her friends and relatives located her.
The hostel matron reported the incident to the police, who arrived at the scene around 6:30 am. Police investigations are ongoing into the incident. This is not the first case of a Nigerian Law School student dying by suicide; another student, Ayomiposi Ojajuni, reportedly took his own life in December 2025 after being barred from writing the Bar Final examinations at the Yola campus.
