The Oyo State House of Assembly, on Tuesday, called for the immediate strengthening of security across public and private educational schools and institutions in the state, following the recent abduction of students and teachers at Community High School, Esiele, and L.A. Primary School, Yawota, in Oriire Local Government Area of the state.
This resolution followed a motion moved at Tuesday’s plenary by the lawmaker representing Ibadan South West State Constituency II, Oluwafemi Oluwafowokanmi, who urged the Executive Arm of Government to deploy operatives of the state Security Network Agency (Amotekun Corps), the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to schools across the state.

He noted that public schools are increasingly becoming vulnerable targets for criminal activities,
