A 23-year-old student of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), Jatau Shebah Rilokwah, has reportedly taken his own life in what authorities describe as an apparent suicide.
According to a post by renowned security analyst Zagazola Makama on his official X handle on Tuesday, the incident occurred at the university’s senior staff quarters on April 27, 2025.
Rilokwah, who was said to be the son of Professor Shedrack Jatau, was discovered hanging from the ceiling by a university security officer, Emmanuel Gyawo.
Gyawo had been asked by the professor who was reportedly out of town at the time to check on his son after repeated failed attempts to reach him.
Upon entering the residence, Gyawo found Rilokwah unresponsive and immediately raised an alarm.
A police team led by the Divisional Crime Officer (DCO) of Angwan Lambu was dispatched to the scene.
“No suicide note was found, and preliminary reports indicate there were no signs of physical violence on the body,”; the post read.
Rilokwah was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Keffi, where he was confirmed dead by a medical doctor. His body has since been deposited in the hospital morgue.
Police sources say investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
