Abducted Oyo School Principal Sends Distress Message From Captivity
Folawe Alamu says force could endanger 25 abducted students and seven teachers as Oyo State signals willingness to talk.
- Vice principal Folawe Alamu of Community Grammar School, Oriire Local Government Area, appealed Thursday to President Bola Tinubu and Governor Seyi Makinde to negotiate with abductors holding pupils and teachers for about 15 days.
- Gunmen attacked schools in the Ogbomoso axis of Oyo State on May 15, abducting 25 students and seven teachers while killing staff members including assistant headmaster Mr. Adesiyan and teacher Michael Oyedokun.
- Previous rescue attempts by security operatives only worsened the situation, Alamu warned, as abductors threatened to kill captives exposed to harsh weather conditions in the bush.
- Governor Seyi Makinde established an operational situation room at the Oyo State Police Command to coordinate rescue efforts, while President Tinubu directed security agencies to assist.
- The abduction has triggered national outrage and intensified concerns regarding the rising frequency of attacks on schools and rural communities across the South-west region.
