All the schoolchildren and teachers abducted during the May 15 attack on the Ahoro-Esiele community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State have regained their freedom.
The victims were kidnapped after heavily armed gunmen stormed the community and abducted 46 pupils, teachers, and the principal of a secondary school, an incident that sparked widespread concern across the country.
The ordeal took a tragic turn a few days later when one of the abducted teachers, Michael Oyedokun, was reportedly beheaded by the kidnappers.
The remaining victims have now been released, bringing an end to weeks of uncertainty for their families and the community.
As of the time of filing this report, authorities have not disclosed details of the operation that led to their release or confirmed whether any suspects were arrested.
More details are expected as the situation continues to unfold.
