According to reports, the lady, whose identity has been left undisclosed, had given birth out of wedlock and did not want to keep the child so she resorted to killing the child by throwing him down a three storey building where female students in the university reside.

It was gathered that the baby died instantly after being thrown down due to the impact of the fall and considering the height of the building. Sources said the incident caused commotion and panic in the institution.

When contacted about the identity of the lady, the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mahid Abubakar, said the police were still gathering details.

“For now, we have yet to receive this report officially. Any further development we will be communicated please,” Abubakar said.

In another development, the Gombe state government had recently completed it’s multibillion Naira Ultramodern Transportation Park as well as its’ Launch Plan.

Speaking to newsmen, the team overseeing the transition assired citizens in the state that the facility will change the game in terms of security and comfort as it houses up-to-date facilities and prides in it’s ability to bring about a fast, reliable and efficient transportation system in the state.

Prior to the completion and establishment of the ultramodern motor park, Gombe state had several interstate motor parks scattered around the capital city.

Sources say this has been a lingering challenge for the both the masses and the Gombe state government.

Several persons have faulted the scattered positioning of the several motor parks across the city as a major security risk causing avoidable traffic gridlocks and massive revenue leakage in the state.

Meanwhile, Val9ja News learns that the assignment of this committee overseeing the transition, is to enhance a simultaneous or gradual relocation of all motor parks to the new multibillion-naira park in a bid to curb the aforementioned menace.

Quoted, “the ultramodern motor park is a beauty to behold. With world-class facilities such as a 38 Room Motel for lodging.”

The park has made provisions for 42 Public Toilets, a fire service station, a police post, a standard clinic for emergency health care and a mechanic workshop as well as a 120,000 Cubic Meter Water Reservoir.

A report by Leadership says that the importance of this project is not lost on residents of the city.

The Land transportation system in Nigeria is faced with a multiplicity of challenges ranging from bad roads to disorganized motor parks and many others with road accidents being the most worrisome. Reckless driving by public vehicle drivers may be added to the list but an organized and well coordinated platform can ensure the safety of passengers.
