The community of St Mary’s Catholic School has been thrown into deep mourning following the deaths of two parents whose children were abducted during the recent school attack. According to local sources, both individuals reportedly collapsed after receiving news of the kidnapping and did not recover, with doctors confirming that shock and emotional trauma played major roles in their deaths.

Families in the area say anxiety levels have remained extremely high since the abduction, as many parents are still waiting for concrete updates on the fate of their children. Community leaders note that the tragic loss of the two parents highlights the emotional toll kidnapping has on families, especially in communities already struggling with insecurity.

Security agencies continue to search for the abducted students, assuring residents that efforts are underway to locate the victims and bring them home safely. Authorities are also working closely with local vigilantes and intelligence units to track the kidnappers’ movements and identify any potential hideouts.

Meanwhile, religious groups, teachers, and civil society organisations have called for stronger security measures around schools to prevent similar tragedies. They insist that the government must prioritise the safety of children and support traumatised families dealing with fear, grief, and uncertainty.
