Horror: Female Varsity Student Throws Day-Old Baby to Death from Second Floor Hostel

A shocking and heartbreaking incident took place in the main campus of Gombe State University, Gombe on Monday, when a female student threw her day-old baby from the second floor of her hostel.

The baby was found dead near Hall IV of the female hostels by some early morning passersby, who noticed the baby’s injured right leg and alerted the university security.

The security personnel traced the baby to a 400 Level Public Administration student called Rahab, who had secretly given birth to the baby in her room after hiding her pregnancy for months under her hijab gown.

She then disposed of the baby by throwing it out of the window, hoping no one would find out. She was arrested by the security officers and escorted away from the hostel, where a large crowd of students and staff had gathered to express their outrage and grief. She was also covered in hijab to shield her from the angry mob.

The university’s Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Abubakar, confirmed the incident to The Nation newspaper and said that the university was conducting an investigation into the matter and would take disciplinary action against the culprit.

He said that killing a baby was a grave crime and that the university would not condone such an act.

Abubakar also said that the matter had been reported to the police for further investigation.

However, the Gombe State Police Public Relations PPRO, ASP Mahid Mua’zu, said that the police had not received any formal complaint from the university’s authorities as of the time of filing this report. He said that the police had only learned about the incident through social media and were trying to get more details.

He also said that the baby had been taken to the hospital and that the police were working to identify and arrest the perpetrator. He appealed to anyone with useful information to contact the nearest police station or call 0800-123-4567.
