Makinde Urges Calm Amid Oyo Kidnappings, Warns Against Protests
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde made an appeal for calm in response to the recent kidnappings of a pupil and a teacher in Oriire Local Government Area. During a Thanksgiving service marking the 60th birthday of retired head of service Mr. Olubunmi Oni at Christ Apostolic Church in Ibadan, Makinde urged families of the victims not to protest, as such actions could worsen the situation and give attention to the abductors.
He reassured the public that security agencies are actively pursuing the kidnappers and are committed to ensuring the safe return of the victims. Makinde emphasized the importance of collective effort and spiritual support in resolving the crisis, urging the community to refrain from blaming each other during this challenging time.
