64 Days After: Where Are The Abducted Mussa Pupils?


Sixty-four days have passed since the abduction of the 42 school pupils in Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School, Askira Uba Local Government Area of Borno State. The children, including toddlers, were abducted on May 15, 2026, from their classrooms in their community located on the fringes of the dreaded Sambisa Forest. The children who were abducted on the same day as the Oriire pupils have since remained in captivity.

Following the rescue of the Oriire pupils and teachers, parents of the Mussa pupils have been anxious hoping that their children will follow suit. However, not much was heard from the authourities on the matter, Weekend Trust gathered. The families of the pupils  say they fear that the fate of their children may be like that of the abducted Chibok girls, who till date have not all returned.

But speaking with Weekend Trust yesterday, the federal government said it was working hard to rescue the Mussa pupils. It said it treats all parts of Nigeria equally and will ensure that the children are reunited with their parents as soon as possible.

“We all feel abandoned. It’s as if our children don’t matter. We have no one to stand for us. “What can we do. asked the chairman of the abducted children’s parents, Mr Ishaku Suya.

According to the Centre, nowhere in Bishop Kukah’s comments did he diminish the seriousness of faith-based persecution in Nigeria.
