Gunmen abducted school principal Mrs. Rachael Alamu, six other teachers, and up to 39 pupils from schools in Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota areas on May 15, 2026.
Tragedy struck when teacher Joel Adesiyan was killed during the raid and Michael Oyedokun was later beheaded by kidnappers.
Mrs. Alamu has released desperate videos from captivity, pleading for negotiation after a failed rescue attempt, while Governor Makinde consoled her husband and reaffirmed ongoing operations with federal support.
Families hold onto hope as the nation prays for safe returns amid rising outrage over insecurity.
