Atbu Student Lost Life In Robbery Attempt

POSTED ON December 4, 2023 •   Metro      BY Oluwakemi Ademuyiwa
In a shocking incident, Joseph Agbabaidu, a final-year Geology student at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) in Bauchi, was killed by robbers attempting to steal his phone. The 500-level student was stabbed on Saturday night around 7 p.m. while heading to his home at Yelwan Tudu, just one kilometer from the school gate. Despite efforts from health personnels, Agabaidu passed away on Sunday morning. The heartbroken community calls on the school management, the police, and the Bauchi State government to prioritize student security and take proactive measures to prevent future tragedies. A grieving student, requesting anonymity, expressed condolences, saying, "May the soul of Agabaidu Obiaje Joseph rest in peace." This tragedy sparked a student protest in Yelwa on Monday and was immediately countered with police intervention to maintain law and order. Vanguard
