Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has met with the families of teachers and students who were abducted in Oriire Local Government Area, assuring them that efforts are ongoing to secure the safe release of their loved ones.
The visit comes amid growing concern over the fate of the victims, who have reportedly remained in captivity for about two weeks. During the meeting, the governor listened to the worries and frustrations of family members, many of whom have been anxiously waiting for positive news since the abduction occurred.
Makinde reassured the families that the state government, alongside security agencies, is actively working to ensure the victims return home safely. He expressed optimism that the abducted teachers and students would soon be reunited with their families.
The kidnapping has drawn attention across the country, with many Nigerians expressing concern over the increasing cases of abductions targeting schools, communities, and travelers.
For the affected families, however, the focus remains on one thing: the safe return of their loved ones.
As rescue efforts continue, many residents hope the governor’s assurance will soon translate into positive results and bring relief to families who have spent days living with uncertainty and fear.
