The candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the August 15 Osun State governorship poll, Najeem Salaam, has strongly condemned the gruesome beheading of a teacher abducted by suspected bandits in Oyo State.
Salaam said the protection of Nigerians must be accorded priority over issues bordering on 2027 general elections.
Salaam, in a statement obtained in Osogbo on Tuesday, said the abduction of Mr Michael Oyedokun and others in Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle, Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, was a dangerous reflection of the worsening insecurity confronting the country.
He described the killing as barbaric and heartbreaking, noting that the “Continuous killing and abduction of innocent Nigerians have become unacceptable.”
The statement partly read, “The rising wave of insecurity across the country has reached an alarming level. It is painful that teachers and other innocent Nigerians are now easy targets for kidnappers and criminal elements.
