Naja’atu Salisu, a 300-level Computer Science student at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi passes away after being found unconscious in the bathroom on Friday morning, July 26.
Naja’atu had gone to the bathroom in the female hostel at the university’s Gubi campus to take a morning shower and prepare for lectures but was later discovered lying unconscious on the bathroom floor.
One of her roommates told Leadership, “She had completed her usual morning routine and had laid out the clothes she planned to wear to class before going into the bathroom.”

“She was then taken to the Trauma Centre of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, where she was pronounced dead by medical doctors,” he said.
