Abducted students’ parents protest, demand release of their children

The parents of the 39 abducted students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, Afaka, Kaduna, have staged a protest, demanding the release of their children.

The protest took place on Thursday at the school premises located along Airport road, Kaduna.

Some of the students of the school also joined in the protest in solidarity with their colleagues who have been in captivity for the past seven days.

Gunmen had invaded the school last Thursday at about 11:30pm, kidnapping 39 students.

They carried a banner with photos of all the abducted students, as well as placards demanding the release of the students.

They also offered prayers in the church and mosque located within the school premises for divine intervention from God.

Some of the parents, who spoke with journalists, lamented that since the abduction, they had not heard any information from the government and the school authorities about efforts being made to free their children.

One of the parents, Sunday Musa, whose daughter is among the abducted students, urged the government to do everything possible to free the students.
