By Sule Aliyu, Bauchi
A 300 Level student of the Department of Technology and Education, Wood Work Section of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi has committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree.
National trail gathered that the incident occurred at the Gubi campus of the institution along Kano Road where the deceased whose identity was given as Dahiru Adamu, aged 30, left his shoes and notebooks on the ground before taking his life by hanging himself on the tree.
An eye witness and a student of the institution who pleaded anonymity said students of the institution in the wee hours of the morning discovered the lifeless body of the deceased hanging on a tree.
He said that the student was hung on the tree for over two hours. “I got to school this morning only to discover a student hanging on one of the trees in the school. As I speak with you now, his body is still hanging on the tree, and I also saw the Vice Chancellor and some management staff at the scene with an ambulance parked by the side. I believe they were waiting for the police to come.”
“The deceased left his shoes and note books under the tree and then hung himself. I could see them (books and his shoes) as I speak with you now. I don’t know the full identity of the deceased but I learnt his name is Dahiru, a 300-Level student of Wood Work Section in the Department of Technology Education.
“He was supposed to have been on IT (Industrial Training), but he missed going”, the source disclosed further.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Bauchi State Command, DSP Kamal Datti, confirmed the incidence to National trail, saying that the Chief Security Officer of the university informed the police of the incident. “Our men immediately swung into action and removed the body and deposited it at the mortuary of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi”, he said.
He said that the actual cause of the death had not yet been ascertained but pointed out that full investigations were ongoing.
The PPRO informed our Correspondent that efforts are ongoing to contact the family of the deceased.
The Public Relations Officer of the University, Malam Zailani Bappah, could not be reached at the time of filing in this report.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
