A suicide rope

A Nigerian Law School student, Ayomiposi Ojajuni, has reportedly died by suicide after he was allegedly barred from writing the Bar Final examinations at the Yola campus in Adamawa State.

PUNCH Metro learnt from at least two students privy to the matter but who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case that the incident occurred on Saturday.

Ojajuni, a graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University, was said to have been issued a series of queries by the school authorities and later discovered he would not be allowed to sit for the professional exams, which began the same day.

One of the law school students who spoke to our correspondent on Sunday said, “He was issued queries in the past.

“Although we did not know the content of the query, he later found out that he would not be allowed to participate in the exams. He became distressed the moment he found out, and this was what led to his demise.”

Another student of the school said Ojajuni died after drinking a poisonous substance.

“He consumed a harmful substance on Saturday and passed away on Sunday after he was taken to the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, Yola,” he said. Punch
