My brother’s name is Umar Usman. He is 15 years old. Can your brother speak about his experience when bandits invaded his school in Katsina? No, he is not available because he was sick even before the incident happened. My uncle took him to Abuja for medical attention. He has typhoid and malaria. The incident happened on Friday night, December 11 and I had been to the school myself on Tuesday evening. I had gone there to give him some drugs for malaria and typhoid. I got back on Tuesday evening because I live in Kaduna. He was among the pupils but he was shocked and distracted because when the bandits entered his school, they acted just like security personnel.
