Jatau Shebah Rilokwah, a 23-year-old student at Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), is said to have committed what authorities call an apparent suicide.

The incident happened on April 27, 2025, at the university’s senior staff quarters, according to a post made on Tuesday by prominent security analyst Zagazola Makama on his official X handle.

University security officer Emmanuel Gyawo found Rilokwah, who was allegedly the son of Professor Shedrack Jatau, hanging from the ceiling.

The professor, who was apparently out of town at the time, had made several unsuccessful attempts to contact Gyawo and requested him to check on his kid.

Gyawo sounded the alarm as soon as he entered the house and discovered Rilokwah unconscious.

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.
