The Allied People’s Movement (APM) expresses joy and immense relief over the rescue and release of the school children and teachers who were abducted on May 15, 2026, in the Orire area of Oyo State.
This heart-warming development brings an end to weeks of agonizing anxiety for the families, the academic community, the government and people of Oyo State and well-meaning Nigerians across the country.
A statement issued by the APM National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Yusuf on Friday
The APM commends the tactical precision, resilience, and synergy demonstrated by our security agencies—including the military, police, and local intelligence units, for their efforts towards ensuring that these innocent citizens were brought back alive.
We also extend our special commendation to the Executive Governor of Oyo State, His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, for his exemplary leadership, responsiveness and unrelenting efforts rewards the release of the victims and overall security of the State especially at this critical time.
Governor Makinde’s administrative support and collaboration with security apparatuses proved pivotal in achieving this positive outcome.
While we celebrate this safe return, the APM reminds all stakeholders that the safety of our educational institutions and of course all our communities and cities must remain a top priority.
No Nigerian child or educator should have to pursue knowledge under the shadow of fear. We urge government at all levels to build on this success by deploying more robust, proactive security measures around schools, particularly in vulnerable communities.
The APM stands in solidarity with the rescued victims and their families as they begin the vital process of healing and rehabilitation.
