Abayomi Fagbenro, the Special Adviser on Security to the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has described as untrue viral social media posts claiming that victims abducted during last Friday’s attack on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State had been released.

The attack on three schools in the Ahoro-Esinle/Yawota axis of Ogbomoso in Oriire Local Government Area led to the killing of no fewer than two persons and the abduction of about 30 teachers and students.

Reports claiming the release of the abducted teachers and students have gone viral since Wednesday night.

While some posts affirmed that the victims had been released, others described the reports as fake.
