Bandits Reportedly Behead Abducted Oyo Teacher

Tinubu said the federal government is working with Oyo State to rescue abducted victims after a teacher was reportedly killed by bandits.

  • On Friday, May 15, bandits invaded Ahoro-Esinle, Oyo State, abducting staff, students, and pupils from the Community Grammar School and the Baptist Nursery and Primary School.
  • The attack follows a failed kidnap attempt on the Ibadan-Ijebu road, renewing concerns over rising insecurity across Nigeria.
  • Bandits released a video on Sunday, May 17, confirming they killed Michael Oyedokun, a teacher abducted during the attack, prompting community mourning.
  • President Bola Tinubu condemned the killing as "barbaric," while the Inspector-General of Police personally leads a tech-driven rescue operation with the Intelligence Response Team in Oyo and Kwara States.
  • Ongoing kidnappings demonstrate the imperative for establishing state police to better protect underserved areas like the Oriire Local Government Area, where residents demand swift rescue action.
