ABORTION; FOETUS FOUND IN UNICAL FEMALE HOSTEL

A tragedy recently rocked the air waves in University of Calabar female hostel as a live human foetus, estimated to be about 7 months old was found in one of the bathrooms in Hall 8. 

The students gathered at alarm raised by one of the female students who went to have her bath. The male and female students around the Hall went to answer the alarm when they were shocked at the terrible sight.

In a chat with our reporter, Mercy Mbakwu who is the Vice President of Students Union Government in Unical described the show as a surprise. She noted that she will engage in a task with her team to bring the culprit to book.

One of the porters who was on duty that day, who pleaded anonymity because she was not authorised to speak on the matter confirmed the incident.

The Chairperson of Hall 8 Mercy Akeng recalled that the same incident was reported to have occurred in same Hall last year and wondered why the culprit was left unidentified. “This time we will not let the person go free’’ she said.

While many students told our reporter that the incident was ungodly, some saw it as a precaution taken routinely by female students, to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

Dandy Azu and Ogar Monday told our reporter that the culprit should not be blamed. They said: “we see it as the only means they used to avoid giving birth to a bastard.

The foetus was buried thereafter, by a group of Man O War Corps led by the Vice President and the Man O’ War in hall 8.
