Teacher Killed In Oyo School Attack To Be Buried In Ogbomoso

One of the teachers killed during the deadly attack on schools in Oyo State, Adesiyan Adegboye, will be laid to rest today in Ogbomoso following the tragic incident that shocked residents across the state.

According to details from the burial programme obtained in Ibadan, the 49-year-old teacher will be buried at his residence located in the Owolake area of Ogbomoso.

Adegboye was reportedly killed during the coordinated attack carried out by suspected bandits on multiple schools in Oriire Local Government Area last Friday around 9:30am.

The attacks targeted Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School, and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, where several teachers and students were abducted by the attackers.

The tragic incident sparked fear and tension across Ogbomoso and nearby communities, forcing many parents to rush to schools to pick up their children while some schools reportedly shut down over safety concerns.

Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, had earlier visited the affected communities and deployed additional detectives from Abuja to support ongoing rescue operations aimed at securing the release of the abducted victims.

Governor Seyi Makinde previously confirmed that several pupils and teachers were kidnapped during the attack, while at least one person lost their life.

The incident has continued to generate widespread concern over rising insecurity and attacks on schools in different parts of the country.
