Principal and staff member cries for help after being kidnapped from schools in Ahoro-Esinele community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State of Oyo state.
Gunmen struck the LGA's Baptist Nursery and Primary School in Yawota, Community Grammar School in Esiele, and L.A. Primary School in Ogbomoso on Friday.
A commercial motorcycle rider and a teacher were m@'rdered during the attack on the schools, according to the Oyo police command.
During the incident, at least forty-five students, the principal, Mrs. Rachael Alamu, and a number of staff members were allegedly abducted.
The principal said that the armed men att@cked the school and kidnapped a number of students and teachers in a widely shared video on social media on Sunday.
"A certain gang of persons attacked us on Friday at approximately 9:30. She made an emotional plea, saying, "A good number of us, the staff and the students as well, were abducted."
The woman urged the Christian Association of Nigeria, the Federal Government, the Oyo State Government, and other well-meaning Nigerians to step in and ensure their release.
"We got here on Friday. I'm making this video to ask for everyone's assistance. In order to save our lives, they need to assist us and resolve this issue amicably," she continued.
Temitope, another victim who was seen in the video with a baby, also made a plea for immediate assistance.
"I'm from Ibadan. I work at Ogbomosho's First Baptist Church. Both the teachers and the students were abducted by the people who came to our school yesterday," she claimed.
"We all need help from the federal and state governments, as well as from the community, First Baptist Church, and the church. We need your help so that these people will release us. Please help us."
She also lamented the state of the kidn@pped children, claiming that they had been crying while being held captive.
"The kids are here, crying so we won't waste our lives." Help all of us. We need your help. Help us all. Don’t ignore us all," she said.
