The protesters, who gathered as early as 8am around Panseke, Abeokuta, were armed with placards bearing various messages such as “The crime they committed was that they went to school, release our children and teachers”, “Stop kidnapping, banditry”, “Stop insecurity, Nigeria is falling apart”, “Our future is crying for help!!! help!!! help!!!”, “Bring back our school children”, “End terrorism in Nigeria”, among others.
Recall that armed bandits raided three schools—Community Grammar School, L.A. Primary School (both in Ahoro-Esinele), and Baptist Nursery and Primary School (in Yawota)—located in the Oriire Local Government Area, near Ogbomoso.
