The Lagos State Police Command has opened an investigation into the death of a 23-year-old Nigerian Law School student found unresponsive at the institution’s hostel in Victoria Island.
The student, identified as Alayande Faith Ajoke, was discovered in the early hours of Friday, August 7, 2026. According to police sources, the Chief Matron of the Nigerian Law School, Mrs Igbokwe Juliana, reported the incident at the Victoria Island Police Division around 6:30 a.m.
The matron was alerted at approximately 4:30 a.m. by another student, Ojo Abisoye Tinuola, who had recently completed her internship and found her roommate in distress. Upon arriving at the scene, the matron discovered Ajoke lying on the ground within the hostel premises.
Preliminary observations indicated the student may have fallen from the rooftop of the four-storey hostel building. Police sources also noted that investigation so far pointed to the possibility that the deceased left behind two notes addressed to her stepfather and roommate.
Detectives from the Victoria Island Police Division visited the location, documented the scene and took photographs. The remains were later moved to the Mainland General Hospital Mortuary in Yaba for preservation and autopsy.
Police said the investigation remains ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the death.
