A shocking incident has been reported at the University of Jos following the discovery of a newborn baby inside drainage pipes at the Naraguta C Block hostel during ongoing renovation work.
According to initial reports, the discovery was made by workers who were carrying out repairs on the hostel’s plumbing system.
The situation reportedly came to light after a blockage in the drainage system prompted further inspection, leading to the finding.
Sources allege that a female student may have secretly given birth and attempted to dispose of the baby through the drainage system, resulting in the obstruction.
However, authorities have not yet confirmed these claims, as investigations are still ongoing.
The incident is said to have occurred within the boys’ hostel premises, raising serious concerns and prompting questions about how such an event could have taken place unnoticed.
In response, university authorities have taken swift action by asking all male students residing in the hostel to vacate the premises.
This measure is to allow for a comprehensive search of rooms and surrounding areas, as well as to aid security agencies in their investigation.
The development has sparked widespread reactions, with many expressing shock and concern over the tragic situation.
