A 100-level student of Taraba State University (TSU), Jalingo, was found dead on Friday in her boyfriend’s apartment.
The victim identified as Comfort Jimtop, was a Mass Communication student from Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State.
Her body was reportedly discovered in the afternoon, with empty bottles of alcohol seen beside the bed where she lay.

Confirming the development, the Police Public Relations Officer in Taraba, ASP Leshen James, said efforts were underway to track down the boyfriend, identified as Emmanuel Shata, and other tenants.

He added that an investigation had begun to uncover the cause of Comfort’s death.
“We are working hard to locate the boyfriend and the fleeing tenants. A thorough investigation will be carried out to determine what happened,” James said.
