Abducted School Principal Sends Distress Message From Captivity In Oyo State

-

 


Abducted school principal, Mrs Rachael Alamu, has released a fresh distress video, appealing to the Oyo State Government, the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for urgent intervention.

Speaking from captivity, she said teachers and schoolchildren have been exposed to harsh weather conditions for weeks while being held by their abductors.

In the video released and making rounds online, Mrs. Alamu also claimed the abductors have become increasingly impatient and threatened to harm one of the captives following an earlier rescue attempt.

She urged authorities and Nigerians to help secure their release before the situation worsens.

“Please help us I am calling on NUT, CAN to help us to talk to them, you don’t need force all they have to do is to negotiate with them and release us we are in the cold we are under the sun, please we are begging you,” she said.

It was gathered that on Friday, May 15, 2026, several pupils and teachers were abducted from the Ahoro-Esinele and Yawota communities of the Oriire Local Government Area in Oyo State. 

Another abduction took place within the same time in a community in the Askira-Uba Local Government Area of Borno State. The separate incidents led to the abduction of over 40 pupils. 

Thereafter, one of the abductees, a teacher in Oyo State identified as Michael Oyedokun, was reportedly killed by the bandits.
