Naja’atu Salisu, a 300-level computer science student at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi, was discovered unconscious after falling in the bathroom on Friday morning.

According to sources, Naja’atu went to the bathroom in the female hostel on the university’s Gubi campus to have a morning shower and prepare for her classes but was later discovered unconscious on the floor.
