The ongoing nationwide protest declared by the Nigeria Union of Teachers over the school abductions in Oyo State gained significant momentum on Tuesday as some schools in Bayelsa State reportedly joined the mass action.
Viral videos circulating on social media showed schoolchildren and teachers in Bayelsa State marching, chanting solidarity songs, and demanding the immediate rescue of students and teachers currently held by terrorists.
In Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, a video shared on Facebook by Golden Agagowei showed pupils of Community Primary School, Isoni, out of their classrooms and lined up in their blue uniforms.
The young children were seen chanting, “Federal Government, release our students! Federal Government, release our teachers!”
