By Joseph Erunke

A member of the House of Representatives representing Ogbomosho North/Ogbomosho South/Oriire Federal Constituency, Olamijuwonlo Alao Akala, has strongly condemned the recent bandit attacks on schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, describing the incident as a brutal assault on education and public safety.

Akala spoke during a condolence visit to Oko-Ile community following the attack on Baptist Primary School, Yawota, and Community High School, Esin-Ele, where gunmen reportedly abducted several students and a school principal.

The federal lawmaker described the attacks as “inhumane” and unacceptable, warning that the worsening insecurity in the area now poses a serious danger to schools, homes, and communities.

“This inhumane criminal act, which has been going on for a while now, is a direct assault on our educational system and a grave threat to our collective safety and wellbeing in our homes, schools, and communities. It is unacceptable and strongly condemned,” Akala said.

He called on security agencies in Ogbomoso and across Oyo State to intensify rescue operations and ensure that those behind the attacks are arrested and prosecuted.

Akala also urged the Federal Government to fast-track the implementation of state policing and establish a military base in Oriire Local Government Area to halt the recurring attacks and killings.

“I am using this opportunity to appeal and call on the security operatives in Ogbomoso and across Oyo State to immediately swing into action to rescue the abducted and apprehend the perpetrators of this evil act,” he stated.

The lawmaker assured residents that he would continue to engage relevant authorities and closely monitor the situation until peace and normalcy are restored in the affected communities.

He further sympathised with families affected by the attack and prayed for the safe return of the abducted victims.

“My heartfelt condolences go to the families of those who lost their lives in this unfortunate incident, and I pray for the quick, safe, and unharmed return of all the abducted victims,” he added.
