There is growing tension in Oyo State following reports that one of the teachers abducted during the recent attack on schools in Ahoro-Esinele community has allegedly been killed by kidnappers.

According to a video circulating online, Mr. Michael Oyedokun, one of the teachers earlier declared missing after the attack, was reportedly murdered while in captivity.

Fresh fear after school attack

The victims were abducted during coordinated attacks on Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele, and Yawota Baptist Nursery and Primary School on Friday after armed men reportedly stormed the communities on motorcycles.

Community sources disclosed that about 46 persons, including teachers, students and pupils, were abducted during the invasion.

The attackers were also said to have carted away four motorcycles belonging to residents during the operation.

List of abducted teachers

Among the teachers earlier reported missing were Mrs. Alamu Folawe, Principal of Community High School; Mr. Ojo Jonathan, Vice Principal; Mr. Olatunde Zacchaeus; Mr. John Olaleye; Mr. Michael Oyedokun; Mrs. Oladeji; and Mary Akanbi of Yawota Baptist Nursery and Primary School.

RNN had earlier reported that Mrs. Alamu appeared in a viral video appealing to the Federal Government, Governor Seyi Makinde and well-meaning Nigerians to intervene and secure the release of the abducted victims.

Police yet to react to fresh claim

The Nigeria Police Force in Oyo had earlier confirmed the abduction and announced the deployment of tactical and intelligence teams to rescue the victims and track down the kidnappers.

However, as of the time of filing this report, authorities were yet to officially confirm or react to the video alleging the killing of Mr. Oyedokun.
