From the Catholic Herald:
Bishop Bulus Dauwa Yohanna of Kontagora Diocese has confirmed the deaths of two parents whose children were among those abducted last week. The bishop confirmed in a statement: “The man, Anthony Musa, died of a heart attack, but regarding the woman, we don’t have the details yet because we couldn’t reach the family.”

The deaths come after more than 300 children and staff from a Catholic school in Niger State in the north of the country were abducted. Police said armed men stormed St Mary’s School shortly after 2am on Friday 21 November, when most pupils were asleep. They forced children and staff into the surrounding forests under the cover of darkness.
