Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has arrived at the Military Hospital in Ibadan to visit the rescued school pupils and teachers who were abducted from the Oriire Local Government Area nearly two months ago.
Heavily armed attackers had previously invaded three schools in the Ahoro-Esiele and Yawota communities on May 15, taking 39 schoolchildren and six teachers hostage.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that one teacher was killed during the initial assault, and another passed away while in captivity. Following a 56-day ordeal, the Presidency announced on Friday that all the remaining abductees had successfully regained their freedom through a coordinated operation executed by a joint team of security agencies.
The governor arrived directly at the Headquarters of the 2 Division Medical Centre, located inside the Odogbo Barracks in Ibadan, where the victims are currently receiving medical attention and undergoing routine profiling procedures following their release.
