A 300-level medical student of
the University of Jos (Unijos), Abdulsalam Idris, has died after allegedly
sustaining severe injuries following an assault by a group allegedly led by a
fellow student identified as Fisal Dahiru Ibrahim.
According to the Daily Trust,
the student died in the institution's clinic on Thursday, April 4, 2024.
Unijos’ security unit confirmed
the death, saying the corpse had been transferred to the Jos University Teaching
Hospital (JUTH) for autopsy.
The acting Chief Security
Officer of Unijos, Agama Solomon, said the suspect claimed to have given
Abdulsalam N30,000 to bribe a technician for exam grades but that when the
results were released and the suspect failed he reportedly orchestrated an
attack that led to Abdulsalam’s death.
He noted that the suspect had
been apprehended and handed over to the police.
It was learnt that the incident
occurred shortly after both the victim and the suspect completed their final
examination in the 300L
The death of Abdulsalam sparked
concerns among his peers, who believed that such a violent outcome was
unjustified and that he did not deserve to be treated in a manner that led to
his death.
