Oyo School Kidnap: Bandits Behead Abducted Teacher In Viral Video

Tragedy has struck the Ahoro-Esinele community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State following the killing of one of the abducted teachers of Community High School, Michael Oyedokun.

Oyedokun was reportedly beheaded by bandits in a disturbing video allegedly released by the kidnappers on Sunday.

The video, which surfaced on Telegram on Monday, showed the teacher tied up and forced to speak before he was gruesomely killed.

The incident has sparked outrage and heightened fears over the safety of the remaining victims still being held by the gunmen.

Residents, relatives of the abducted victims, and concerned indigenes have continued to appeal to security agencies and the state government to intensify rescue efforts to prevent further loss of lives.

The Special Adviser on Media to Governor Seyi Makinde, Dr. Suleimon Olanrewaju, confirmed the killing and said the governor sympathised with the family of the deceased teacher.

He said the government was deploying both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies to secure the release of the remaining abductees.

Olanrewaju also disclosed that security personnel injured during rescue operations were responding positively to treatment, adding that the state government would bear their medical expenses.
