The Nation reported that his daughter, Miss Fatima, was identified as the girl with hijab in the video released by bandits barely 24 hours after the abduction of the students.

Meanwhile, days after the abduction of 39 students of the federal college of forestry in Kaduna state, the parents of the children have urged Governor Nasir El-Rufai to secure the release of their wards from their captors.

The Punch reports that the parents expressed grave worry that over two weeks after their children were kidnapped by gunmen who stormed their hostels, the students were yet to be released.

Legit.ng gathered that while speaking on Thursday, March 25, a member of staff of the school and a representative of the affected parents, Sani Friday, said the parents are afraid bandits may kill their children if the government deploys force.
