Alhassan said one of the parents of the abducted children died on Tuesday, adding that her only child was among the kidnapped.
The headteacher lamented that the state government has not visited the parents.
“The situation we are in is very sad. We have received no delegation to sympathize with us. Even regarding the ransom, we have received no response from them.”
The community has started raising funds for the ransom of N110 million.
It was gathered that town criers have been going round the community asking residents to donate towards the rescue of the abducted children.
