A teacher at Community High School in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State has said pupils and teachers have resumed academic activities following the rescue of the abducted victims, but fear still lingers because of the absence of visible security around the school.
The teacher, who didn’t reveal his name in the TVC interview uploaded on Wednesday, disclosed this while speaking after the victims regained their freedom following nearly two months in captivity.
He recalled that shortly after the abduction, only about half of the students returned to school as many parents kept their children at home over safety concerns.
“The teachers, the principals, everybody were around. But unfortunately, we could only meet about half of the students. So, what we did was just to encourage them that, very soon, by God’s grace, the remaining students and the students in the bush would be released,” he said.
