BREAKING: Abducted Oyo Schoolchildren, Teachers Regain Freedom After 50 Days
All the schoolchildren and teachers abducted during the May 15 attack on Ahoro-Esiele community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State have regained their freedom after spending more than 50 days in captivity.
The victims were kidnapped when heavily armed gunmen invaded the community, abducting 46 pupils, teachers and the principal of a secondary school, triggering nationwide concern.
The abduction took a tragic turn days later when one of the kidnapped teachers, Michael Oyedokun, was reportedly beheaded by the abductors.
The Pendulum Media has confirmed that the remaining victims have now been released. However, details surrounding their release, including whether any arrests were made or the circumstances leading to their freedom, were not immediately available.
The development was also announced by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a post shared on X on Friday.
“Finally, the kidnapped pupils and teachers in Oriire, Oyo, have been freed by their abductors,” Onanuga wrote.
Further details are expected as authorities provide more information on the circumstances surrounding their release.
