Police operatives have arrested a female student of Gombe State University (GSU) for allegedly thr%wing a day-old baby from a three-storey building.
It was gathered that the unfortunate incident occurred at the girls’ hostel on Saturday morning, September 9, 2023.
According to reports, the yet-to-be-identified student decided to end it all for the child immediately after she put to birth.
The baby was found near Hall IV of the female hostels by passerby who raised the alarm only to discover that the baby was already d€@d as a result of an inj¥ry sustained in the right leg.
An eyewitness told newsmen that the mother of the baby has been hiding the pregnancy in her hijab gown for months to prevent her from being noticed.
Confirming the incident, the University Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Abubakar, said: “It is confirmed that a baby was thr%wn down from a height in one of the female hostels, it is a serious action and the university is investigating it and disciplinary action will be taken on it because it is a crime to m¥rder a baby.
If it is a matter of delivering the baby now there is no problem but thr% wing an innocent day-old baby to d£@th is a crime.”
