Oyo, Nigeria – The abducted pupils and teachers from Orire Local Government Area have been released, marking the end of a harrowing captivity.
Mr Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, confirmed the release in a brief post on his verified X handle on Friday. “Finally, the kidnapped pupils and teachers in Orire, Oyo have been freed by their abductors,” he wrote.
While their freedom has been secured, authorities have yet to disclose the terms of their release. As of filing this report, it remains unclear if a ransom was paid or if an operational rescue was mounted to secure their safe return. Further details are expected shortly.
