Nationwide anger is spreading over the recent abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State, with protests now expanding across several states.
According to The Punch, at least 82 pupils were kidnapped in coordinated attacks in Oyo and Borno, sparking public outrage and renewed insecurity concerns. Demonstrations have intensified as student unions and civil groups demand urgent government action.
In response, the National Assembly has begun moves to accelerate the creation of state police, seen as a key reform to tackle rising insecurity. Lawmakers say the proposal is aimed at strengthening local security structures and preventing further mass school attacks nationwide.
Public pressure continues to mount for swift rescue operations and lasting security reforms.
