Some parents of the abducted Government Science Secondary School students in Kankara area of Katsina State have expressed disappointment after spending hours in the school premises waiting for their children to return.

They have converged yesterday early in the morning patiently waiting for their children to return as promised by the government.

Two of the parents said they couldn't sleep, adding that they will continue to spend the night at the school until their children are rescued safely.

Just yesterday, 17 of the abducted 333 students returned home after escaping from their abductors, leaving 316 of them still in captivity.

One of the lucky students, TSANNI MANI, in an interview said he escaped from the bandits very early on Saturday morning.

He also said the bandits divided the abducted boys into batches.

His father, AHMED MANI expressed hope that other School children still in captivity will be rescued.

Katsina State Governor, AMINU MASARI said the bandits who kidnapped the school children have warned that security operatives who were monitoring their hideouts with helicopter must stop the action.

But this account seems in conflict with reports saying that the terrorist group, Boko Haram, has claimed responsibility for the abduction of the students.
