Oyo Protests Demand Release of Abducted Pupils and Teacher

The Take-It-Back movement organized a protest at Mokola Roundabout in Ibadan, Oyo State, demanding the release of pupils and a teacher abducted in Oriir Local Government Area. The protest was a response to the worsening security situation in Oyo State, where residents expressed concerns over increasing kidnappings.

Demonstrators carried placards with various inscriptions, emphasizing the need for safer communities and protection for farmers, traders, and students. They voiced frustrations over the persistent security challenges in Nigeria, stating that the people of Oyo State are fed up with insecurity.

The protest followed a series of emotional appeals from families of the victims, who have repeatedly urged the Oyo State government and security agencies to intensify rescue efforts to ensure the safe return of their loved ones. The abductions occurred during an attack on a school in the Ahoro Esiel community, raising widespread concern among parents and residents.
