By Ayodele Oni

The Students’ Union Government of the Bauchi state owned Abubakar Tatari Alli Polytechnic has decried the incessant attack on the students by armed robbers.

This is coming on the heel of another attack on the students  barely two weeks after the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi was hit by a similar incident.

According to reports, the attack occurred around 3 a.m. on Friday, when three armed robbers broke into an off-campus lodge housing two students.

During the struggle, one of the students was stabbed in the stomach, and later died after losing excessive blood.

The deceased student has been identified as Samuel Mbami, an ND2 Mass Communication student.

In a statement signed by its president, Usman Aliyu, the Students’ Union Government condemned the attack, described it as tragic and senseless.

The Union demands a thorough investigation, and calls on the authorities to beef up security on campus, and in the surrounding communities, to prevent further incidents.

The union also urged students to remain calm, and prioritise their safety.
