A student of the Federal Polytechnic, Bauchi, Auwal Shehu, has been found dead in front of one of the school’s hostel.
A student of the polytechnic, who spoke to newsmen Metro on condition of anonymity on Thursday, said the students woke up on Tuesday to find the victim lying lifeless in front of the boys’ hostel.
“We were confused to find the student’s dead body in front of the hostel. We did not know what killed him, but we reported the incident to the management,” he said.
Details of the cause of the student’s death appeared sketchy, but a source said the victim fell off the second floor of the hostel while reading in the night.
Another source, however, said the student slumped and died while returning to the hostel from one of the lecture rooms.
The Deputy Rector of the institution, Sanusi Gumau, confirmed the incident to our correspondent, but dispelled the report that the student fell off the second floor.
May His Gentle Soul RIP.
