Blaise Aliyu, a student of the Air Force Comprehensive School, Kaduna, has been reportedly punished to death by two of his senior colleagues.
Aliyu is survived by his twin
brother, who is also a student at the military boarding school located in
Mando, Kaduna.

their parents in 2013.

students reportedly summoned the 15-year-old to their room under the pretext of
punishing him but ended up killing him.
The deceased’s body has been
deposited in the mortuary.
The spokesperson for the
Nigerian Airforce, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, while reacting to the
development, expressed the institution’s sorrow.
Gabkwet, in a statement on
Saturday, said, “an investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the
incident is ongoing.”
The statement explained that
the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, and indeed the entire
NAF family were saddened “by the painful and unfortunate incident of the
untimely death of one of our students at Air Force Secondary School, Kaduna, on
June 19, 2024.”
It added that to avoid all
sorts of speculations, a thorough investigation was currently ongoing to
unravel how, why, and what led to the death of the victim.
The statement stated that the
general public should be rest assured that the matter was receiving the utmost
urgency it deserved, and that they wouldn’t rest until it was unravelled.
