But no-one can say whose children are among the dead, leaving families devastated, with hope dwindling they will see their sons and daughters again, parents said.
Parents learned of the deaths from an emissary who had been sent with a payment, only to be held himself before he was set free again. In June, 15 of the hostages escaped from their abductors while they were asleep, in a remote village in neighbouring Zamfara state, where they were being held.On 1 August, the ransom envoy who was sent to deliver the 30 million naira in cash returned to Tegina with the news of the death of four of the pupils.
Two of Ms Mohammed's kidnapped children suffer from pneumonia "which makes me feel they could be among the dead." Most have been released after negotiations or ransom payments, but hundreds are still being held in forest hideouts as their captors try to negotiate payments. "My mind will be at peace if I know my daughter is dead rather than living with this nightmare of having her honour violated," said Ms Abdullahi.
