“We wish to reiterate that we will do everything within our power, everything humanly possible, with the help of God, to ensure that our children do not perish” the parents declared.

They also lamented how the state government has neglected them and refused to listen to them and described the recent announcement by the state government to prosecute any negotiator as callous.

“For the record, the Governor of Kaduna State has never addressed the parents of these students from the first day of the incident until now. They have shown no concern about the trauma the parents have been enduring.
