He said, “The father of Jamima reported that she committed suicide by taking a deadly substance. Another version had it that she visited her boyfriend, a lecturer at Modibbo Adama University Yola, and was told to quit the relationship.
“Angered by the news from her boyfriend, the deceased took poison. We are investigating the matter, and justice will be served.”
