The Oyo State Government says it has sealed escape routes for suspects in Friday’s abduction of students in Oriire Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
The state Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, disclosed this in a statement issued in Ibadan on Saturday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that some unknown gunmen abducted some pupils and students of LA Primary School and Community Grammar School at Ahoro-Esinele Community at Oriire LGA.
The attack, which resulted in the killing of a teacher, also led to the abduction of the principal, two vice principals, and three teachers.
The commissioner said, “The suspected bandits have been effectively confined within the National Park axis, following coordinated security operations aimed at preventing their movement into neighbouring states.”
