A 56-day abduction in Oyo State shows why 19 million Nigerian children are staying home — and why rescue alone has not brought them back.

- Gunmen attacked three named schools in Oriire, Oyo State, on May 15, 2026.
- Captives were held 56 days and rescued July 10 in a joint military, DSS, Police and ONSA operation.
- 19 million Nigerian children, 27 percent of school-age children, are out of school to avoid kidnappings.
அப்போது தீராதவை

கவனிப்போம் என்று சொன்னவை
- Whether rescued Oriire pupils return to classrooms or join the ranks of children kept home.
- Whether federal and Oyo State authorities can protect schools in areas newly exposed to abduction raids.
