  We present results obtained from a Suzaku observation of the accretion
powered X-ray pulsar GX 1+4. Broad-band continuum spectrum of the pulsar was
found to be better described by a simple model consisting of a blackbody
component and an exponential cutoff power-law than the previously used compTT
continuum model. Though the pulse profile had a sharp dip in soft X-rays ($<$10
keV), phase-resolved spectroscopy confirmed that the dimming was not due to
increase in photoelectric absorption. Phase-sliced spectral analysis showed the
presence of a significant spectral modulation beyond 10 keV except for the dip
phase. A search for the presence of cyclotron resonance scattering feature in
the Suzaku spectra yielded a negative result. Iron K-shell (K$_\alpha$ and
K$_\beta$) emission lines from nearly neutral iron ions ($<$Fe III) were
clearly detected in the source spectrum. A significant K$_\alpha$ emission line
from almost neutral Ni atoms was detected for the first time in this source. We
estimated the iron abundance of $\sim$80 % of the solar value and Ni/Fe
abundance ratio of about two times of the solar value. We searched for a iron
Ly$_\alpha$ emission line and found a significant improvement in the spectral
fitting by inclusion of this line.
