Punch Newspaper reports that gospel singer Yinka Alaseyori has apologised following backlash over her comments on the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.
In a video shared on Instagram, she said her earlier remarks were misunderstood and never intended to diminish the pain of victims or their families. Alaseyori expressed regret that her words caused hurt, especially among parents and Nigerians deeply affected by the tragedy. She appealed for forgiveness, stressing that her message was meant to encourage prayers alongside government efforts to rescue the victims and address insecurity.
The incident sparked debate online, with critics arguing that prayers alone were insufficient and stronger action was needed from authorities.
