A female student of the Federal University Dutse (FUD), Jigawa state, has allegedly killed her newborn baby inside the school hostel.
The lady, whose identity remains unknown, was said to have given birth to the infant and then threw the baby from the top floor of a three-story hostel building.
The incident was said to have taken place on Monday.
In a now-viral video, some students of the varsity can be seen inquiring why the mother committed the act.

In the clip, the varsity’s Department of Works came in a vehicle to take the deceased baby and mother away.
