The abducted vice principal of Community Grammar School, Ahoro-Esinele, in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Folawe Alamu, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu, Governor Seyi Makinde and other Nigerians to negotiate with her abductors for the release of the victims.

Mrs Alamu made the appeal in a distress video circulated online on Thursday, about 15 days after gunmen abducted pupils and teachers during coordinated attacks on schools in the Ogbomoso axis of Oyo State.

Looking visibly distraught and kneeling in the video, the vice principal said the victims had remained in the bush since the abduction and were being exposed to harsh weather conditions.

“Good morning, today is the 27th of May 2026. About 13 days ago we were picked from work and still now we are still in the bush.

“We are begging President Tinubu, Governor Makinde and every other well-meaning Nigerian to please help us. I am calling on the Nigeria Union of Teachers to help us and talk to them. You don’t need force, all you have to do is to negotiate with them and release us.
