The authorities of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua
University, Katsina have engaged the services of snake charmers to rid
the campus of snakes and other dangerous reptiles.....
Sources said the step followed the death
of a final year Economics student, Zainab Umar, last Monday after she
was bitten by a snake three days earlier.
The Dean of Students Affairs, Dr.
Suleiman Kankara, equally confirmed the hiring of the snake charmers to
Northern City News on Sunday.
He said, “Yes, we have employed the
services of snake charmers to assist us in ridding the campus of snakes.
Although the snake charmers just began work, plans had been in the
pipeline to hire them.
“We normally hire the snake charmers
whenever we get report of presence of snakes on the campus. It is
unfortunate that the lady died. We know we tried our best to prevent her
death.”
Kankara maintained that Umar was taken
away from the institution’s health centre by her friends and her brother
despite pleadings with her mother to allow her to continue her
treatment on the campus.
He added, “Zainab was bitten by a snake
on Friday evening and she was promptly treated at our health centre. I
spoke with her mother on phone on Saturday that she should be allowed to
continue her treatment.
“I later checked the clinic on Saturday
evening only to learn that her friends and her brother had taken her
away from the clinic against medical advice.
“They did not sign any document to
secure her release. We later learnt of her death on Monday morning. May
her soul rest in peace.”
The deceased had since been buried in her hometown, Dandume, Katsina State.
