A member of the association told this publication that the matter has been reported to the police.

He said:

The very first consultation of the CP was done by the managers of the affairs of the school owners. We have been on a daily consultation with the family as well as the recent campaign for his release, which the entire members are engaged in. We are also as an association laying pressure on the state government to show a political will towards finding ways around the circumstances that led to his abduction and subsequently securing his release.
