The names of 36 students of Government Day Secondary School, Lassa, in Askira/Uba LGA of Borno state abducted on Monday have been made public.

The students were among candidates writing the National Examinations Council (NECO) examination on Monday when armed men stormed the school and abducted dozens of candidates, taking them to an unknown destination.
