300L Bauchi varsity student dies while bathing

Naja'atu Salisu, a female student at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University in Bauchi, has been formally declared deceased following her collapse in the restroom. The computer science 300-level student passed away on Friday after her sister discovered her unconscious in the restroom.

Her roommate said that "she had done every routine preparation for the morning class before going into the bathroom." 

"Naja'atu has arranged her outfits by the side of her bed for the class. After bringing out her study materials in the morning, she entered the bathroom to shower while her sister waited for her so that they could both attend lecture together," said Zailani Bappa, the university's director of information and public relations.

Zailani claimed that although she was sent to the university clinic for a blood transfusion after her sister raised the alarm, the medical staff was unable to locate a vein in her body. She was rushed to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead, as soon as the clinic staff realized the situation was critical, he continued. According to Bappa, "Naja'atu's parents, who live in Abuja, accepted the development and directed that a funeral prayer and burial be accorded her according to Islamic rites after being notified of the situation." He went on to say that Naja'atu was buried in accordance with Islamic customs.
