The Digest:

A father of three abducted Niger schoolchildren has died from a heart attack, a tragic reminder that the casualties of Nigeria's security crisis extend beyond direct violence to the silent, psychological wounds that claim lives in homes and hospitals.

Key Points:
  • CAN Northern Chairman Rev. John Hayab confirm the parents' death?
  • Mr. Anthony died from a heart attack after his three children were abducted
  • Over 265 students from St. Mary's Catholic School remain missing
  • Fifty senior students escaped during the attack and returned safely
  • Parents are reportedly too traumatized to speak with the media
  • CAN criticized the inadequate security presence in affected communities
  • The case highlights the psychological impact of mass abductions
As Nigeria celebrates rescues, this death underscores the hidden casualties, the parents whose hearts break silently while waiting for children who may never return home.
