A student who survived the abduction that took place at the Government Secondary School, Kankara in Katsina State has shared details of the sad encounter.
 
According to him, two of his colleagues (schoolboys) have been killed.

A parent of a missing pupil, Hajia Faiza Hamza Kankara, who spoke to Vanguard, said the pupil stated this while giving an account of his ordeal in the hands of the captors.
 
The grieving parent said the boy told them that the bandits fed them with leaves and beat them like cattle.
 
She also said the pupil told them that the abducted pupils still missing stand at over 500, saying whoever said the number of missing children is 10, is a liar.
 
She said,  "My son, Usman Lawal Tahir, is in SS2 class. He is still missing. One of the pupils who returned yesterday (Sunday night) said they were 520 that included two that were killed and him who escaped.

"So whoever says the missing children were ten lied. Today (Monday), another child just returned, and he is being interviewed in the principal's office. So we are waiting to hear what is the situation with the missing children over there. Although when the boy returned, one of the security personnel who brought him back said 15 more were on their way before the dusk.

"The children said they were fed with leaves and beaten like cattle.

"We appeal to President (Muhammadu) Buhari and Governor (Aminu) Masari to come to our aid and rescue our wards. We cannot sleep and cannot eat."
 
Meanwhile, the grieving parents of the students have besieged the school premises, awaiting the return of their missing children.
