No life was lost in the fire, but it took the efforts
of fire fighters to put an end to the accident
The students of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
University , Bauchi were left to regret their day as
they battled a nasty fire accident that engulfed
the female hostel of the school.

According to PUNCH Metro , the incident
happened around 9pm in room 18 of Bethel
Hostel , and it damaged the properties of the
students occupying the hostel.

The inferno threw the school campus into
pandemonium as the only thought on everyone’s
mind was how to put the fire away.

A high voltage is said to be the reason for the
rather unfortunate incident, when there was a
switch from the school’s power generator to the
public electricity system.

Thankfully, no life was lost in the fire, but it took
the efforts of fire fighters to put an end to the
accident which last for two hours.
