The Proprietor of Tanko Salihu Islamic school Tegina, Rafi
local government area of Niger State, Mallam Idris Umar and father of an
abducted child who died in captivity said he is pained that he is unable to
give his son a proper burial.
Umar whose four children were among the 91 children
kidnapped on the 30th of May,2021, said this while fielding questions from
Journalists in Minna.
The deceased child was said to be between 8 and 9years old.
Umar said he sees the death of his child as the will of God
said he would have felt better if he was buried properly.
”Though, I see the death of his child as God’s will, I would
have been more fulfilled if the child had died at home to give him a befitting
burial. I thank Allah that the other three are alive and also other children
that were kidnapped. Their continued stay with the bandits was a traumatic
experience for all of us”
” But, despite, all that happened, today everyone is happy over
the release of the entire children. We thank God that all our pains and
sufferings are over,” he said.
Sharing similar emotions, the Head Teacher of the Islamiya,
Alhassan Ahmed expressed pains as well as joy over the release of the children,
after a long stay in the hands of the bandits.
He said ransoms were paid to secure the freedom of the
children and that parents have no regrets for whatever amount they paid to the
bandits for the safety and release of their children.
“Except for the child that we lost, we thank Allah that all
of them returned alive and well.”
However, Ahmed was tactical on the amount of ramsons paid,
saying, “on the issue of ransoms payment, I meant the ones gathered by the
parents, don’t mean the state government.”
