The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the death of 23-year-old law student Faith Alayande, who is believed to have committed suicide by jumping from the rooftop of a four-storey hostel building at the Nigerian Law School's campus in Victoria Island, Lagos. The incident was reported to the police after Alayande was found unresponsive in the hostel premises, with a suicide note discovered by another student and a relative.
The Chief Matron of the hostel, Mrs. Igbokwe Juliana, reported the matter to the police, leading to an investigation. This is not the first case of a Nigerian Law School student dying by suicide, as another student, Ayomiposi Ojajuni, reportedly took his own life in December 2025 after being barred from writing the Bar Final examinations due to queries from school authorities.
