The mysterious death of Comfort Jimtop Oliver, a 100-level student at Taraba State University (TSU) who reportedly died at her boyfriend’s residence in Jalingo, has taken a chilling turn.

This is because her suspected boyfriend, Emmanuel Kefas, a 2024 graduate in Human Kinetics from the same university, was also found dead in the Tudiri community, just a few meters from Jalingo, the state capital.

Residents of the area suspect he must to have committed suicide following the death of Comfort in his house. 

The deceased lovers were all residents of Bakasi, and had lived about 200 meters away from each other’s houses, near Dr. Rapha Memorial Guest Inn, by the Vice-Chancellor’s Gate in Jalingo.

A senior police officer said that empty bottles of hard drinks were found beside the bed where she died.
