Oyo State First Lady, Tamunominini Makinde, has come under criticism after her Children’s Day message reportedly made no reference to the dozens of pupils and teachers abducted from schools in Oriire Local Government Area earlier this month.
According to People’s Gazette, the omission sparked reactions from concerned citizens and advocacy groups who argued that the plight of the kidnapped children should have featured prominently in any message marking a day dedicated to children’s welfare.
The controversy comes as families continue to await the safe return of the victims, who were abducted during attacks on schools in the area.
The incident has intensified public scrutiny of government responses to insecurity, particularly as the ordeal of the abducted pupils continues to dominate conversations across Oyo State.
