The baby was later traced to a female student identified simply as Rahab, a 400 Level Public Administration student of the institution.
The incident attracted a large crowd of sympathisers who gathered around the female hostels discussing the matter.
An eyewitness, who prefers anonymity, said Rahab had been hiding the pregnancy in her hijab gown for months to prevent her from being noticed.
She was later arrested by the university security in the midst of an angry mob, covered in hijab to protect her from mob attack.
The university’s Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Abubakar, who confirmed the incident to The Nation newspaper, said a lady had been identified for committing the crime.
