Oyo State Government has announced the suspension of all school excursions, field trips, sports competitions and other activities outside school premises following last week’s deadly coordinated abduction attack on schools in Oriire Local Government Area, as burial rites commenced for slain teacher, Adesiyan Adegboye.

Adegboye, 49, one of the teachers killed during the attack, was laid in state on Friday at Ayegun Baptist Church, Ogbomoso, ahead of his burial later the same day at his residence in the Owolake area of the town.
