The Digest:
Former Anambra Governor Peter Obi has described the killing of a teacher abducted during the attack on schools in Oyo State as “not just a security challenge but a failure of collective humanity.” In a post on X, Obi mourned the victims and said the brutal killing of a teacher and the rape and murder of an elderly woman are signs of “deeper moral and social decay.” He demanded accountability and urgent systemic change. President Tinubu has assured that security operatives are working to rescue the remaining victims.
Key Points:
- Obi warns that Nigerians have become “desensitised” to tragedy, normalising the unacceptable.
- He says grief alone is not enough; citizens must demand accountability and systemic change.
- The attack involved three schools in Oriire LGA; a mathematics teacher was beheaded.
- Governor Makinde confirmed seven teachers were abducted and vowed the state will not give in to terror.
- Teachers in Ogbomoso staged a peaceful protest, demanding improved school security
