The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested two students from the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) for their alleged involvement in a criminal conspiracy, housebreaking, and theft. This information was disclosed by the police spokesman, SP Mohammed Wakil, in a statement released to journalists on Friday.
According to the police report, on September 26, 2024, at approximately 10:00 AM, an anonymous tip-off was received at the Divisional Police Headquarters Yelwa. The report detailed an incident in which a group of students assaulted two of their peers: Bamusa Mohammed Bako, a 25-year-old 400-level student of Urban and Regional Planning, and Yusuf Umar (also known as Danfari), a 28-year-old 500-level student of Industrial Design, both from the ATBU Yelwa Campus.
The police have initiated an investigation into the matter, and further details regarding the circumstances surrounding the assault and theft are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about safety and security within university environments, prompting calls for increased vigilance and support for students.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the case will likely draw attention to the challenges facing students in Nigerian universities, including issues of violence and criminal activities. The Bauchi State Police Command remains committed to ensuring justice and maintaining peace within the community.
