The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has demanded urgent government action over the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

NLC president, Joe Ajaero, made the demand in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja.

Mr Ajaero described the incident as another painful reminder of worsening security situation across communities nationwide.

He said the abduction of school children from Community High School, LEA Basic School, Ahoro Esinele, and First Baptist School, Yawota, had shocked Nigerians and attracted widespread concern.

“The tragedy of Ahoro Esinele and Yawota demonstrates that no community is safe anymore, while innocent children are increasingly becoming targets of violent criminal groups.
