Residents and youths in Oyo State staged a protest on Wednesday over the recent abduction of students and teachers in the state.
In a video obtained by Nigerian Newssphere, protesters were seen chanting, “Bring back our children,” “Bring back our teachers,” and “Free our children and teachers.”
The protest, which is ongoing in Ogbomoso, saw residents express anger over worsening insecurity and economic hardship. Demonstrators accused the government of failing to protect lives and improve the living conditions of citizens.
Some protesters were also seen pulling down campaign billboards and banners bearing the image of President Bola Tinubu.
The demonstration follows the recent abduction of dozens of pupils and a teacher during coordinated attacks on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Recall that an abducted teacher was reportedly beheaded, while at least 10 persons were killed by bandits in Oyo and Katsina states.
