Victims Kidnapped during the May attack on three schools in Orire Local Government Area have been released, bringing relief to their families and the nation.
The pupils and teachers kidnapped by gunmen during an attack on three schools in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State have regained their freedom after spending several weeks in captivity.
The victims were kidnapped on May 15, 2026, when heavily armed attackers invaded Community Grammar School, Baptist Nursery and Primary School, and L.A. Primary School in the Ahoro-Esiele and Yawota communities, killing some victims and abducting dozens of pupils and teachers.
Their release brings an end to weeks of anxiety that sparked nationwide concern, with parents, residents, and stakeholders repeatedly calling for urgent action to secure their freedom.
Although the victims have now been released, authorities are yet to provide full details of how they regained their freedom or whether any suspects have been arrested in connection with the abduction.
More details are expected as the Oyo State Government and security agencies provide further updates on the development.
