President Bola Tinubu has said that security agencies are close to making a breakthrough in the investigation into the recent school kidnapping in Oyo State, assuring that those responsible will be tracked and dealt with.

He made the statement while reacting to the abduction of teachers and students in the Ogbomoso area, which has sparked widespread concern across Nigeria.

Tinubu said security forces, including police, military, and intelligence units, have intensified operations aimed at rescuing the victims and apprehending the attackers.

He expressed confidence that progress is being made in the investigation, adding that authorities expect “a breakthrough soon” as efforts continue on the ground.

The president also vowed that armed groups responsible for attacks on schools and communities will be confronted as part of broader national security operations.

The kidnapping incident has drawn strong reactions from residents, teachers, and civil society groups, many of whom have called for stronger protection of schools and faster emergency responses in vulnerable areas.

Security agencies have not released full operational details but confirmed that coordinated efforts are ongoing to locate the abductors and rescue the victims.

School-related abductions remain a recurring security challenge in parts of Nigeria, prompting continued calls for improved safety measures in rural and semi-urban communities.

Authorities say further updates will be provided as operations progress.
