He was said to have later died on Friday evening while his relatives were about to take him to a hospital for further medical treatment.
The news of Ibrahim’s death broke hours after the state government met with representatives of the grieving parents of the missing students at the Government House in the state capital.
The bandits had released a video in which the abducted students were seen being beaten as they pleaded with the government to facilitate their rescue.
While their parents have repeatedly called for their release, the state government has ruled out the option of negotiating with bandits.
