A female student has reportedly murdered her newly delivered baby in the Federal University Dutse, Jigawa State school hostel.
The student, whose identity remains undisclosed, was said to masterminded the infant’s death after being thrown from the top floor of a three-storey building, according to Leadership Newspaper.
A heart-wrenching scene unfolded as a viral video captured the aftermath, with fellow students grappling with the incomprehensible loss.
Reports suggest she gave birth in the hostel’s bathroom and questions arise concerning her unmarried status and the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.
The varsity’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Bello, on Monday, confirmed the incident.
Bello assured all that the university promptly notified the authorities.
He clarified that the student’s pregnancy did not occur during her time at the university, highlighting the recent resumption of the academic session.
Immediate medical attention was provided to the student following the incident.
“The university administration is conducting a thorough investigation and taking necessary measures to address the situation,” Bello stated.
