ATBU
A fire outbreak gutted and destroyed a section of the building housing the department of agricultural sciences, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi.
Reports have it that the fire incident which source was yet to be ascertained as of the time of filing this report, occurred in the evening of Wednesday a few minutes after 8pm at the Gubi permanent campus of the university along with Kano road.
It was further gathered that students and other people around the area when the fire broke out scampered for safety while spirited efforts were made to control the fire from spreading to other parts of the university.
A source from the University disclosed that the fire incident occurred when the building was almost empty thereby reducing the possibility of casualties but said that valuable documents and other items were destroyed by the fire outbreak
The source however said that there were no human casualties adding that men of the university fire service acted promptly and were able to put the fire under control.
All efforts to get official confirmation from the university authorities proved abortive as of the time of filing this report as no official of the university was ready to make comments but the information was sketchy.
