In response, maintenance workers were called in to trace and fix the blockage.<\/p>\n<p>According to eyewitness accounts, the situation took a grim turn when plumbers, while dismantling sections of the drainage pipe, uncovered what appeared to be the remains of a baby lodged within the system. The shocking find immediately triggered outrage, fear, and emotional reactions among students and nearby residents.<\/p>\n<p>It was gathered that the remains of the baby were discovered during routine repair work aimed at clearing the blocked pipes, suggesting that the baby might have been disposed of through the toilet, though the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.<\/p>\n<p>The incident has left many students deeply shaken, with several expressing disbelief that such a tragedy could occur within the confines of a university hostel. Calls have intensified for a thorough investigation to determine what happened and to identify anyone involved.<\/p>\n<p>The university authorities are yet to\u00a0 not release an official statement on the disturbing discovery.<\/p>\n<p>The incident adds to growing concerns over safety, welfare, and accountability within student residential facilities, with many urging swift action to address both the immediate case and broader systemic issues.<\/p>\n<p>UniJos has been under tension lately, following\u00a0recent attacks and killings in several communities across Plateau State, which prompted\u00a0the university management to advise members of the university community to be wary of their movements, especially in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bose Kindly share: Panic and disbelief swept through the University of Jos community on Friday after the remains of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1],"tags":[911,1658],"class_list":["post-9309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-uncategorized","tag-infanticide","tag-university-of-jos"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 -
