Tears Flow As Oyo Begins Burial of Teacher Killed in School Attack

Burial activities have commenced for Adesiyan Adegboye, the teacher who lost his life during the recent attack on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State. The 49-year-old teacher was killed when armed bandits invaded Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School, and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, on Friday morning. He is expected to be buried later today at his residence in the Owolake area of Ogbomoso. According to reports, several teachers and students were abducted during the coordinated attack, which happened around 9:30 a.m. The incident threw the community into panic, forcing many parents to rush to schools to withdraw their children over fears of further attacks. The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, reportedly visited the scene and deployed additional detectives from the Force Headquarters in Abuja to support rescue operations and ongoing investigations aimed at securing the release of the abducted victims. Governor Seyi Makinde earlier confirmed that seven students were abducted from Community Secondary School, while 18 pupils and seven teachers were kidnapped from First Baptist Primary and Nursery School. He also confirmed that one person was killed during the attack.
