Fear grips Jalingo as the sad news lands today. Police say they have found Emmanuel Kefas dead. He was the key suspect in a fresh campus case. Many now ask how this grim turn came.
Comfort Jimtop died weeks ago in unclear terms. She was in 100-level Mass Communication at Taraba State University. Her death drew loud calls for quick answers. Friends and staff mourned and asked hard questions.
Police confirm the discovery and early steps
Taraba Police spokesman James Lashen gave the first brief. He said, “We got word from the Tudiri village head.” “They found a lifeless body,” he added. Officers then rushed to the scene.
Lashen said the team found a Tecno Android phone there. “We charged the phone and checked the files,” he said. A photo on it shows Kefas with Comfort side by side. That image points to a clear love link.
Officers then moved the body to the Federal Medical Centre. “We moved him to FMC Jalingo for autopsy,” he said. “We also seek the boy’s family for full ID.” “The autopsy will show the real cause of death.”
Photo hint deepens link to Comfort’s case
The image on the phone now shapes the line of work. Detectives will ask when and where they took that shot. They will also map the hours before each death. Time lines can clear fog in tragic cases like this.
Police have not fixed a cause for Kefas’s death. They will not call it suicide or murder yet. They also will not rule out a sad mishap now. The case stays live as fresh leads come in.
