The Gombe State Police Command has launched a full investigation into the death of a 200-level student of the Federal University of Kashere, whose lifeless body was recovered from a stagnant water body in Sabon Garin Yero Village, near Kashere town, Akko Local Government Area. The deceased, identified as Enoch Sunday Maisamari, 28, was a student of the Department of Microbiology in the university's Faculty of Science. His sudden death, following a disappearance that lasted only a few days, has left the university community in shock and raised troubling questions about the circumstances leading to his demise.
According to reports, Maisamari was last seen on Sunday, July 19, 2026, while attending a graduation party organised by the university's final-year students. His disappearance afterwards sparked concern among friends and colleagues, who had reportedly been searching for him before the tragic discovery. A witness told Daily Trust that Maisamari, who hailed from Billiri Local Government Area of Gombe State, was found by the police on Tuesday morning, July 21, 2026. Officers later contacted the management of the Federal University of Kashere, after which one of the deceased student's coursemates identified the body.
The Gombe State Police Command confirmed the incident, stating that it received a report on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at about 9:30 a.m. regarding the recovery of Maisamari's body from the stagnant water body. The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Buhari Abdullahi, said officers responded immediately after receiving information about the discovery and evacuated the body to the General Hospital in Kashere. According to him, medical personnel at the hospital confirmed that the undergraduate was dead after the body was brought in for examination.
"The victim was evacuated to the General Hospital, Kashere, where he was certified dead. No visible marks of violence were observed on the body. But investigation is still ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident," Abdullahi stated.
The absence of visible injuries on the body has not ruled out further investigations, as detectives continue efforts to establish the events leading to the student's death. The incident has raised concerns within the university community, with students and residents awaiting the outcome of the police investigation to determine exactly what happened between the time Maisamari attended the graduation celebration on Sunday and when his body was recovered from the stagnant water body days later. Authorities have yet to disclose whether foul play is suspected, while the police say further findings will emerge as investigations progress. The mystery surrounding the death of the 28-year-old student has deepened, leaving his family, friends, and the entire university community grappling with unanswered questions.
