‘Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo State has said that his administration would continue to put in all efforts to ensure the safe return of the teachers and children abducted at Oriire Local Government Area of the state.
While appealing for the understanding and cooperation of the people, he also charged them not to put blames on the federal or state government but to join hands together to ensure the successful rescue of the abductees.
The governor who stated this on Saturday at L.A Basic School, Ahoro Esiele, when he paid a visit to the area to commiserate with the families and relatives of the victims, sympathized with the people of the community and the affected families, said the incident would be the first time Nigeria would experience abduction involving underage children.
Makinde further noted that while the families and communities are deeply hurt by the incident, he shares in their grief and concern, saying that regardless of the grievances the abductors may have, their actions remain cruel, unacceptable, and inhumane.
