Ibrahim Shamaki, the father of one of the 39 abducted students of Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in the Afaka area, Kaduna, is dead.

This comes as Fatima Shamaki and the other abducted students prepare to spend their 15th night in the captivity of the bandits.

It would be recalled that on March 12, a group of armed men attacked the school after the attacks by bandits on schools in Katsina, Niger, and Zamfara States.

But the military said it promptly responded to the attack as troops of Quick Response Force of 1 Division of the Nigerian Army mobilised to prevent the bandits from kidnapping the staff and students of the school.

As soon as the security operatives arrived in the school, they were said to have engaged the assailants in a gunfight.

This according to the military, led to the rescue of 180 people, comprising 132 male students, 40 female students, and eight civilian staff.
