An abducted principal of Community High School, Ahoro-Esiele in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Mrs Rachael Alamu, on Monday released another video, begging Nigerians not to allow the government to deceive the world that the bandits requested Sharia law to be enshrined in the country for the release of the schoolchildren and their teachers.
PUNCH Online reports that over 40 pupils alongside their teachers were kidnapped during a coordinated attack on Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, in the local government, on Friday, May 15, 2026, around 9:30 a.m.
Alamu, while issuing an emotional distress call from the kidnappers’ hideout, begged Nigerians to circulate the video and beg the government not to play politics with their lives.
She said in the viral video, “Good day, everyone. Please, I have come to make some clarifications. Today makes it the 24th day that we have been in this place. And it seems that some people are making our problems more complicated already. We were shown some print media where it was stated that these people who abducted us requested the release of some people. They requested N1 billion; they requested that Sharia law be enshrined in the country.
