A new video released by bandits holding abd¥cted teachers and pupils from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State has surfaced online, showing a visibly distressed school principal, Mrs Alamu, pleading for urgent intervention.
In the emotional clip, Mrs Alamu appealed to President Bola Tinubu, Governor Seyi Makinde, security agencies and Nigerians to help secure their release through negotiation rather than force.
“Please help us. I’m calling on NUT and others to help us to talk to them. We don’t need force. All they have to do is to negotiate with them and release us,” she said.
The victims were reportedly abd¥cted on May 15, 2026, in the Esiele and Yawota communities of Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
Mrs Alamu said both children and adults were suffering severe conditions in captivity, revealing that they had been exposed to harsh weather conditions in the bush.
“We are in the cold. We are under the sun. We are under the rain, the children and the adults as well,” she lamented.
The principal further warned that the k+dnappers were becoming impatient and frustrated, while begging authorities not to abandon them.
“Don’t let them waste our lives. They are getting impatient and frustrated. Please help us. Don’t just leave us here. Don’t forget us in the bush,” she cried.
She repeatedly stressed that the situation did not require the use of force, urging authorities to respond quickly and negotiate with the abductors.
“This does not call for force at all. Please,” she added.
