Oyo abduction: Go, rescue pupils, teachers alive – Reps tell security agencies

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

The House made the call on Tuesday during a session on the floor of the House, following a motion 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 noted.

DAILY POST recalls that bandits beheaded one of the school teachers, Michael Oyedokun, abducted from Community High School, Ahoro-Esiele in Oriire Local Government Area of the state.

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

The lawmakers stressed that establishing a security presence is so that this strategic frontier around the border corridors ceases to be a safe-haven for killers and a passage of terror into the South-West, calling 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, commence full implementation of the adopted resolution on a decentralised and regional security architecture.

“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.
