Gov Seyi Makinde of Oyo State
By Dapo Akinrefon
Following last week’s abduction of pupils, students, and teachers from Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yaworan, Community Grammar School, Esiele; and L. A. Primary School in Oriire Local Government Area in Oyo State, the Yoruba Council of Elders, YCE, on Thursday, challenged South West governors, leaders and stakeholders not to allow the region become the next frontier of mass abduction.
The YCE, in a statement by its Secretary General, Chief Oladipo Oyewole, while condemning the abduction said it is not just a crime against Oyo State, it is an assault on Nigeria and future of the Southwest.
