Parents and relatives of pupils and teachers rescued from captivity in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State gathered at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso, on Tuesday, awaiting reunion with their loved ones.
The rescued victims were taken to the facility for comprehensive medical checks and psychological support following their release.
Family members remained at the hospital as healthcare workers conducted assessments and prepared the victims for formal handover to their relatives.
The victims comprise 39 pupils and seven teachers, including a school principal, who were abducted on May 15, 2026, after gunmen suspected to be members of Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina fi-Biladis Sudan (Ansaru) attacked three schools in Oriire Local Government Area.
