Funeral arrangements have commenced for Adesiyan Adegboye, the teacher shot dead during last Friday’s coordinated bandit attack on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The burial of Adesiyan Adegboye, 49, the teacher killed during last Friday’s coordinated attack on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, began on Friday at Ayegun Baptist Church, Ogbomoso, with interment scheduled later at his residence in the Owolake area.
Adegboye was shot dead when armed bandits stormed Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School, and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, around 9:30am, abducting several teachers and students in an operation that threw communities into panic.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde confirmed that seven students were abducted from Community Secondary School, while 18 pupils and seven teachers were kidnapped from First Baptist Primary and Nursery School.
Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu subsequently visited the area and ordered deployment of additional detectives from Force Headquarters in Abuja to support ongoing rescue efforts.
The incident sparked widespread fear across Ogbomoso, forcing many parents to withdraw their children from schools over concerns of fresh attacks.
