The Oyo State government has appealed to the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) to reopen schools following the abduction of 46 individuals in Oriire Local Government Area. The appeal comes amid discussions about security measures and budget approvals to address the crisis.

Governor Oyebanji visited the recently freed Eda Oniyo kidnap victims, expressing gratitude for their safe return and commiserating with them during his visit. He cautioned against the politicisation of security issues, emphasizing the need for a united approach to addressing such challenges.

The Ogun State Police Command, along with other security agencies and government stakeholders, conducted a joint operational assessment and show of force across key communities from Itele-Ijebu to the Ondo State border. This initiative aims to enhance security along the Ogun–Ondo border corridor, including the Ogun Waterside, according to DAILY POST.

Ekiti State Governor Oyebanji visited worshippers who were recently released after being held captive for months. The individuals were abducted in April during an attack by gunmen suspected to be bandits at an open-air revival organized by the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eda-Oniyo, according to Channels TV.

A call has been made to General Yakubu Gowon, a former Head of State, to organize a special national prayer for Nigeria in response to ongoing insecurity issues in the country, according to Yinka Kolawole in Osogbo.

The governor of Ekiti has announced that free medical treatment will be provided for worshippers who were rescued from kidnapping. He urged people to stop politicizing the incident on social media, emphasizing that security challenges should be addressed through collective support rather than partisan interests.
