Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has urged intensified efforts to rescue over 40 children abducted in Borno State, who have been held captive for 137 days. Makinde received a report from the Judicial Commission of Inquiry on Tuesday, which will guide government decisions, assign responsibilities, and allow public monitoring of measures taken following the incident.
The governor emphasized that children's safety must be the benchmark for any changes implemented. He called on residents of Oyo State and Nigerians who have followed the process to examine the evidence presented by the commission and the government's actions. Makinde urged intensified rescue efforts for the Borno children abducted on the same day as the Oriire incident, who remain in captivity despite the passage of 137 days.
He stressed that no Nigerian child should fear for their life while seeking education, regardless of their location in the country.
