A 300-level student of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, on Friday morning reportedly hanged himself.
The deceased,
Dahiru Adamu, 30, was said to be a student of the Department of Technology
Education at the institution. He was found hanging from a tree.
The incident occurred at the Gubi
campus of the institution along Kano Road. The deceased whose identity was
given as Dahiru Adamu, 30, left his shoes and notebooks on the ground before
taking his life by hanging himself on the tree.
An eye witness and a student of the institution who pleaded
anonymity said students of the institution in the wee hours of the morning
discovered the lifeless body of the deceased hanging on a tree. He said that
the student was hung on the tree for over two hours. “I got to school this
morning only to discover a student hanging on one of the trees in the
school.
As I speak with you now, his body is still hanging on the
tree, and I also saw the Vice Chancellor and some management staff at the
scene with an ambulance parked by the side. I believe they were waiting for the
police to come.” “The deceased left his shoes and books under the tree and then
hung himself. I could see them (books and his shoes) as I speak with you now. I
don’t know the full identity of the deceased but I learnt his name is Dahiru, a
300-Level student of Wood Work Section in the Department of Technology Education.
He was supposed to have been on IT (Industrial Training), but he missed
going.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Bauchi State Command,
DSP Kamal Datti, confirmed the incidence, saying that the Chief Security
Officer of the university informed the police of the incident. “Our men
immediately swung into action and removed the body and deposited it at the
mortuary of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH),
Bauchi.” He said that the actual cause of the death had not yet been
ascertained but pointed out that full investigations were ongoing.
