The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), South-West Zone, has threatened to mobilise thousands of school proprietors, teachers and students for peaceful protests across the region if abducted teachers and pupils in Oyo State and other parts of the country are not released by June 10.
The association issued the warning while condemning the recent abduction of teachers and pupils in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State, describing the incident as an attack on education and a dangerous sign of worsening insecurity in the country.
In a statement signed by its South-West President, Comrade Deji Olatona, NAPPS said members across the six South-West states would take their grievances to state Houses of Assembly and governors’ offices should authorities fail to secure the victims’ freedom within the stipulated period.
