Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi
Female students of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, on Monday staged a peaceful protest following an armed robbery attack on their hostel, expressing fears over their safety and demanding improved security on campus.
The students marched to the university’s Senate Building to register their grievances after suspected robbers reportedly invaded the female hostel in the early hours of Sunday and carted away valuables, including mobile phones.
One of the victims, Fauziyya Abdullahi, said the incident had left many students traumatised and fearful of a possible recurrence.
“Our main fear is if they come in here and march us out. We do not want to be another Chibok girls,” she said.
