Seyi Makinde

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has confirmed that seven teachers were abducted during the recent attack on schools in the Oriire area of the state. He recently revealed that the exact number of missing pupils is still being determined, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Speaking while addressing journalists on the security situation following the invasion of the schools by suspected gunmen, Makinde disclosed that an Islamic Studies teacher was killed during the attack.

The Governor added that security agencies have already arrested six suspects within the community and three other persons of interest in connection with the incident.

His words, “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.

But the problem that we have is when you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.

The information available is that about six individuals have been arrested within the locality. Some of them we believe are informants. Also, three individuals of interest have been arrested.

We have decided that we will adopt not just a kinetic approach. We are engaging leaders, elders and religious leaders, especially at the Baptist Convention.

We are not taking this lightly. We will do everything within our means to resolve this quickly and bring our children back safely.”

WOW.
