Oyo kidnapping: Rep. urges security forces to rescue surviving students and teachers.

The House of Representatives has called on the federal government and security agencies to rescue the students and teachers who were abducted from Baptist Nursery and Primary School (Yawota), Community Grammar School (Esiele), and L.A. Primary School in Oyo State, and to bring them back home alive.

The request was made on Tuesday during a House session, following a motion introduced by Hon. Olamijuwonlo Alao‑Akala.

“Bring our remaining sons, daughters, and teachers home alive without further delay, for every hour lost is an hour in which we risk losing them forever, and that risk now outweighs every other consideration before us,” he said.

The Daily Post reports that bandits beheaded one of the school teachers, Michael Oyedokun, who had been abducted from Community High School, Ahoro‑Esiele in Oriire Local Government Area of the state.

The green chamber also noted that, in addition to the 1,000 forest guards already approved by President Bola Tinubu, a permanent military forward operating base should be established in Oriire Local Government Area to maintain a sustained and dominant security presence across the Old Oyo National Park and its surroundings.

Lawmakers stressed that a strong security presence is needed so that this strategic frontier around the border corridors no longer serves as a safe haven for killers or a conduit for terror into the South‑West. They called for the creation of state and local policing units.

The House also resolved that the National Assembly and the Executive Arm must, without further excuse or delay, begin full implementation of the adopted resolution on a decentralised and regional security architecture.

They urged the creation of state police, local government policing units, decentralised courts, and an integrated national intelligence and surveillance network.

“People have waited long enough, and every further postponement is paid for in the blood of innocents, and brings the nation closer to being overrun,” the lawmakers said.
