Oyo abduction: NLC, CSOs, teachers join nationwide protest

The Oyo State abduction case—where dozens of schoolchildren were kidnapped in June 2021—has sparked a nationwide protest. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), various civil‑society organisations (CSOs) and teachers’ unions have joined the demonstration, demanding stronger security for schools, the immediate release of the abducted pupils and accountability for the perpetrators. The coordinated walk‑outs and rallies across the country pressure the Oyo government and federal authorities to improve safety measures and accelerate rescue efforts. Views Nigeria
