Families of pupils and teachers abducted by bandits in Oyo State have rejected rice and cash brought by government officials, insisting that their priority was the safe return of their loved ones, a community leader has revealed.
The Baale of Yawota, Emmanuel Alade, recounted the community’s reaction during an interview with News Central on Monday while describing the events surrounding the abduction that occurred in the Orire Local Government Area of the state.
