The family of late Assistant Head boy of the Airforce Comprehensive School, Kaduna, Felix Blaise, who was allegedly killed in the school dormitory by two Senior Secondary School (SS3) students has called for justice.
A member of the family who identified himself as Paul broke the silence over the death of the orphaned student.
Mr. Paul made the demand in Kaduna while speaking with the media where he disclosed that the late Felix was his nephew and an orphan who lost his two parents in 2013.
He maintained that the best the school management and the Nigerian Airforce (NAF) can do to honour the deceased is to intensify efforts towards unraveling what led to his death.
He disclosed that he saw the late Felix in sound health when he visited him during the Sallah break, adding that the death of the “brilliant and disciplined boy has thrown himself and the entire family into shock.
He said the family was informed about the death of their nephew by the Education Secretary of the Air Force Base.
“We were assured that an investigation is currently going on to fish out the culprits and see that justice is served.
“We as a family trust in the integrity of the school and the Airforce, and we are confident that the killers of our son will not escape punishment,” Paul said.
The Nigerian Airforce has not disclosed the identity of the victim and the cause of his death, but announced that a thorough investigation is currently ongoing to unravel what led to his death.
Confirming the incident, NAF’s Spokesman, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, in a short statement on Saturday said, “The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, and indeed the entire NAF family are saddened by the painful and unfortunate incident of the untimely death of one of our students at Air Force Secondary School, Kaduna on 19 Jun 24.”
