Borno school attack: 37 children still missing — Parents

Parents in Borno State are in distress as 37 children remain unaccounted for after terrorists attacked Government Day Secondary School in Lassa. The attack occurred while students were writing examinations, resulting in the deaths of two teachers and the abduction of an unspecified number of students. Although military forces reported rescuing 10 victims, parents have since registered 37 missing students. Mbula Bura, whose 19-year-old daughter Esther is among the missing, expressed the deep panic gripping families. Emmanuel Dari, another parent, shared his anguish over his 16-year-old daughter's abduction, highlighting the sleepless nights and confusion since the incident. The state government, represented by the Commissioner for Education, Lawan Wakilbe, visited the town to assess the situation. However, the Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Usman Tar, has not responded to requests for comment.
