Sunday, March 24, 2024 - A fire incident at the female hostel of the Federal University, Gashua, in Bade Local Government Area of Yobe State, has led to the death of a three-hundred-level student of the Department of Geography.
Executive Secretary of the Yobe State
Emergency Management Agency, Mohammed Goje confirmed the incident. A student of
the institution told Channels Television that the inferno started around 1 pm
on Saturday, forcing the students to run for their lives; others were being
evacuated to the specialist hospital in Gashua for medical attention.
The cause of the fire incident is still
sketchy, but some students suspect cooking gas might have caused it.
The incident happened exactly one month
after a similar one razed down a female hostel at Yobe State University in
Damaturu, the state capital.
