The Nigerian Law School has confirmed the death of a 23-year-old female student, Faith Alayande, who reportedly fell from the rooftop of a hostel at the institution’s Lagos Campus.
Alayande, a student of the Nigerian Law School’s Enugu Campus, was temporarily residing at the Lagos Campus hostel while participating in an externship programme in Lagos State.
According to a statement issued on Monday by the Secretary to the Council and Director of Administration, Aderonke Osho, the incident occurred at about 4:00 a.m. on Friday, August 7, 2026.
The institution said preliminary information indicated that the student fell from the rooftop of the hostel and died from injuries sustained in the incident.
“The management is working closely with the appropriate authorities and the family to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident, ensure that all necessary procedures are duly followed, and provide further information as appropriate,” the statement said.
The Nigerian Law School expressed deep sadness over the incident and extended its condolences to Alayande’s family, colleagues and everyone affected by her death.
The institution also appealed to members of the public and the media to respect the family’s privacy as they mourn their loss.
The Lagos State Police Command had earlier reported that the hostel matron alerted the authorities after the student was found unresponsive on the premises. Police officers visited the scene, evacuated the body to a morgue and commenced an investigation.
Earlier reports also indicated that a hostel mate and a relative allegedly found a suicide note and began searching for Alayande before she was later discovered unresponsive following the fall.
The Nigerian Law School said it remains committed to ensuring the safety, welfare and wellbeing of its students and staff while investigations into the incident continue.
