Oyo school kidnappings

Oyo school kidnappings On 15 May 2026, armed men attacked three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria, and abducted 49 pupils, teachers, and a toddler. The attack, which also resulted in the killing of a mathematics teacher in captivity, drew nationwide outrage, led to an indefinite teachers’ strike, and prompted both state and federal authorities to deploy extensive rescue operations. Quotes The Oyo State Government remains committed to the safety of every community,” the statement added. Just one instance, apart from seeing the hand of God right from the beginning, the seventh week was the hardest for us all. That was when the troops increased their air raids. It was so intense and persistent that at one point, the fear of the bandits became secondary. We were just praying that missiles would not be accidentally dropped on us. But God kept us because we were so exposed, only covered with polythene bags and grasses. External Links Category:Terrorism in Nigeria
