Teachers nationwide are holding a peaceful rally on Tuesday to protest the abduction of their colleagues and pupils from schools in Oyo State. The victims are still in captivity for over two weeks now.

Oyo State teachers withdraw services indefinitely from June 1 in protest against the abduction of colleagues and students in Oriire Local Government Area.

The union said the protest became necessary following the continued captivity of seven teachers and several pupils kidnapped during recent attacks on schools in the state.
