The Oyo State Government has officially suspended all school excursions, field trips, sports competitions, and outside-premise activities following a series of deadly coordinated abduction attacks on schools in the Oriire Local Government Area.
This directive comes as the state begins burial rites for Adesiyan Adegboye, an assistant headmaster who was killed alongside teacher Michael Oyedokun during a mass school abduction raid.
The deceased, who was born on December 11, 1976, was murdered by armed bandits who invaded Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School, and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, last Friday.
During the coordinated attacks, several teachers and students were abducted, throwing Ogbomoso and neighbouring communities into panic.
Governor Seyi Makinde had 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.
The incident sparked widespread fear across the area, with many parents rushing to schools to withdraw their children amid concerns over possible further attacks.
