Blaise Felix Aliyu, a student at the Air Force Comprehensive School in Kaduna, has tragically passed away.

Aliyu, an orphan who lost his parents in 2013, reportedly died after being severely punished by two senior students. He is survived by his twin brother, who also attends the military boarding school in Mando, Kaduna.

The incident occurred when two SS3 students called the 15-year-old to their room under the guise of discipline, resulting in his death. Aliyu’s body has been placed in the mortuary.

Reacting to the incident, Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet, spokesperson for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), expressed the institution’s deep sorrow. In a statement released on Saturday, Gabkwet announced that an investigation is underway to uncover the details surrounding the tragic event.

“The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, and the entire NAF family are deeply saddened by the untimely death of one of our students at Air Force Secondary School, Kaduna, on June 19, 2024,” Gabkwet said. “To prevent any speculation, a thorough investigation is being conducted to determine the exact circumstances leading to this unfortunate incident. We are treating this matter with the utmost urgency and seriousness.”
