President Bola Tinubu has said that Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun and security teams are leading ongoing efforts to rescue teachers and students abducted during a school attack in Oyo State.

The president made the statement while addressing growing concerns over the security situation following the kidnapping incident that affected a school community in the state.

According to the presidency, security agencies have intensified operations aimed at locating the victims and tracking those responsible for the attack. The rescue mission reportedly involves coordination between the police, intelligence units, and other security operatives.

Tinubu condemned the abduction and assured residents that the federal government remains committed to improving security and protecting schools across Nigeria.

The incident has triggered public concern and protests from teachers and community members, with many demanding urgent government action to secure the release of the victims and strengthen security around schools.

School attacks and kidnappings have remained a major security challenge in parts of Nigeria, leading to repeated calls for stronger protection of educational institutions and vulnerable communities.

Security operations are expected to continue as investigations into the attack progress.
