We don’t know if they’re alive, Borno parent laments schoolchildren’s captivity

A parent of abducted schoolchildren in Borno State has expressed despair over the continued captivity of the victims nearly 100 days after their abduction. Speaking to News Central TV, the parent requested President Bola Tinubu to intervene and ensure the safe return of the children, highlighting the anguish their families have endured.

The parent compared the situation to the rescue of children abducted in Oyo State on the same day, noting that those in Oyo had been returned to their families over a month ago while the Borno children remain missing. The uncertainty surrounding the children's fate has taken a toll on the families, with some parents reportedly hospitalized.

The families have received no information about the children's condition, leading to anxiety about whether the children are alive or dead.
