Share this article

All the schoolchildren and teachers abducted during the May 15 attack on Ahoro-Esiele community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State have regained their freedom.

The victims were taken when armed assailants stormed the community, abducting dozens of pupils, teachers, and the school principal in an incident that sparked widespread concern across the country.

The ordeal turned even more tragic days later after one of the abducted teachers, Michael Oyedokun, was reportedly killed by the kidnappers.

UTV Africa has confirmed that the remaining victims have now been rescued and reunited with safety. However, authorities are yet to provide full details of the operation, including whether any suspects were apprehended during the rescue mission.

This is a developing story, and more updates will be provided as additional information becomes available.
