“I was sitting in the office when some students’ leaders, a security and some other staff came and informed me that, there was an accident involving our students.
“We quickly rushed to the place and evacuated them to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi where they were certified dead.
“We later discovered that, the other two were not our students, they only gave the student a ride on their motorcycle and they had the accident on their way into the town,” he said
