Attacks Target Oyo Schools

In recent months, armed groups have carried out a series of violent attacks on schools in Oyo State, Nigeria. The incidents have included arson, looting of classrooms and laboratories, and assaults on teachers and students, often linked to banditry, communal clashes, or insurgent activity. The attacks have forced many schools to close temporarily, disrupted education for thousands of pupils, and prompted calls from the state government and international NGOs for increased security, rapid reconstruction of damaged facilities, and support for displaced students and staff.
