The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has mobilised its members nationwide for a massive solidarity and advocacy protest in Oyo State over the continued abduction of students and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area.
NANS President, Comrade Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, in a statement issued on Friday, described the prolonged captivity of the victims as “heartbreaking, disturbing and unacceptable,” declaring that Nigerian students would no longer remain silent while innocent pupils and teachers remain in the hands of kidnappers.
The nationwide mobilisation comes ahead of a planned peaceful rally scheduled for Monday, June 1, 2026, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
