In a major victory for Nigeria’s security forces, all the schoolchildren and teachers abducted from Oyo State on May 15 have been successfully rescued, Truth Live News International can confirm.
The victims, comprising 46 pupils, teachers, and the principal of a secondary school, were freed following the daring operation that ended their 56-day ordeal in the kidnappers’ den.
The announcement brings immense relief to families, educators, and the nation at large, which had been gripped by the incident since heavily armed gunmen stormed schools in the Ahoro-Esiele community, Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The abduction on May 15 sparked widespread outrage and national concern, with the crisis taking a tragic turn when one of the kidnapped teachers, Michael Oyedokun, was beheaded by his abductors days after the attack.
Details of the rescue operation, including the exact circumstances, location, and whether any arrests were made, have not yet been disclosed by authorities.
This successful outcome marks a significant boost for ongoing efforts against banditry and school-targeted abductions in the country. Further updates are expected as more information emerges from security agencies.
