There was an outpouring of joy in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, as the husband of rescued school principal, Mrs Rachael Alamu, led a thanksgiving celebration following her release from captivity.
In a video shared by Oyo Matters on Sunday captured Professor Alamu dancing exuberantly with members of his church during a special thanksgiving service held to celebrate the safe return of his wife and the other victims.
In the emotional footage, the congregation repeatedly sang “Hallelujah” as the professor joined fellow worshippers in expressing gratitude after weeks of uncertainty over the fate of the abductees.
Mrs Alamu, the principal of Ahoro Esinle School in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, was among the teachers and pupils kidnapped by armed men on May 15, 2026, while at the school.
The victims remained in captivity for more than 50 days before regaining their freedom.
