An Economics female student of Umaru Musa Yar’adua University Katsina, Zainab Umar, has reportedly died hours after she was bitten by a snake.
According to report, Zainab was bitten by the poisonous snake while on her way to the school Library on Sunday,15th of October, after which she was rushed to the school clinic only to be administered paracetamol injection to suppress the pain before she gave up the ghost and now buried according to Islamic teachings at her family's house.
Read the online report on Zainab's demise below...
"We just lost a sister and a friend Zainab Umar from the department of economics, Umaru Musa Yaradu'a University Katsina, Katsina State. She suffered from snake poisoning after being bitten by a snake a day before yesterday. This gives us as students of the same institution a cause to worry because our welfare is not a priority to the school authorities. Zainab was bitten and rushed to the school clinic only to be administered paracetamol injection to suppress the pain,is that the medical action required to be given to a victim of snake bite??? After 3hrs,she was placed on drip of which the poison had already found its way to some parts of her body I'm sure. Her friends requested they took her home but the Dean of student affairs had refused stating that if they moved her an inch from the clinic,whatever happens to her is not a business of his (yet he claims he's incharge of all student's affairs). She was not being administered proper medication,the clinic claimed there was no anti snake bite drugs available in the whole of Katsina, how unrealistic!!!
They're aware of the absence of this drugs yet the school authorities won't do nothing about the lack of street lights knowing veey well that students go out to read at night,they do nothing about the continuously growing grasses and trees that is gradually turning this school into a forest rearing all sort of animals both wild and domestic. Is this a school environment or a recreational facility???
The school authorities must do something about this before their selfishness claims more lives of the students. I urge all Umyuk student to share and repost this......something has to be done. We need to feel safe and secured within the school environment. We have paid not for just knowledge but security as well!!!!
May your gentle soul live in peace,you will forever live in our hearts Zee
