Media aide to former Vice President, Paul Ibe, has called on security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS), to invite Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, to disclose the identities of those allegedly behind the abduction of students and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Ibe made the call in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, noting that if Igboho indeed possesses credible information about the perpetrators, security agencies should engage him to support ongoing efforts to secure the victims’ release.
The development follows claims by Igboho during a meeting with members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), where he alleged that certain politicians were behind the abductions. He further stated that he would expose those involved if the incidents persist.
Reacting to the assertion, Ibe stressed the need for authorities to explore all possible avenues to ensure the safe rescue of the abducted students and teachers.
He also raised concerns over what he described as the Federal Government’s inadequate response to the reported abduction of more than 50 schoolchildren in Mussa, Borno State, last month.
Ibe questioned why the administration of President Bola Tinubu appeared silent on the Borno incident, asking when the same level of attention given to the Oriire abduction would be extended to victims in other parts of the country.
He wrote: “Since Sunday Igboho claims to know those behind the abduction of students and teachers in Oriire, Oyo State, I think that the State Security Service (SSS) and other security agencies need to invite him to disclose those names.
“Every option should be on the table to fast-track the safe release of the schoolchildren and teachers.
“By the way, who knows those behind the abduction of over 50 schoolchildren in Mussa, Borno State on May 15, 2026?
“Why is Tinubu and his government mute over the Borno abduction? Are those schoolchildren not Nigerians? When will the Commander-in-Chief send a delegation to Mussa as was done in the case of Oriire?
“When will Borno and other vulnerable states get their own forest guards? Why wait for a tragedy to occur before the government takes decisive action to stem insecurity in our country?”
