The rescue of pupils and teachers kidnapped in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians, with many welcoming the development while demanding that authorities publicly present the suspected kidnappers and provide more details about the operation.
Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, announced the rescue on Friday in a post on X.
“Finally, all the kidnapped pupils and teachers in Oriire, Oyo have been rescued by our security agencies,” Onanuga wrote.
“One of the rescued teachers in Oyo sends a thank you message to President Tinubu and the security agencies.”
The announcement came after weeks of uncertainty following the abduction of pupils and teachers in the state.
