The husband of abducted school principal, Mrs. Rachael Alamu, has broken down in tears while appealing to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, to intensify efforts to secure the release of his wife and other victims kidnapped in Oyo.
The emotional scene occurred during the governor’s visit to Oriire Local Government Area on Saturday, where families of victims gathered to demand swift government action.
The husband, whose wife, Alamu Folawe, is the principal of Community Grammar School, Esiele, pleaded passionately with the governor to ensure that rescue operations were not abandoned or delayed.
Visibly distressed, he said the captivity of his wife had become deeply painful, especially with reports that abductees were being forced to appear in distress videos circulating online.
“My wife is the one being used to make the videos that are being circulated. It is very disheartening and depressing,” he said in Yoruba, breaking down in tears.
He also commended the governor’s efforts but urged him not to relent in the rescue mission, pleading that all abducted persons be brought home safely.
The appeal comes amid renewed public concern following a fresh video reportedly released by the abducted principal, Mrs. Alamu Folawe, who called on President Bola Tinubu and Governor Makinde to consider dialogue as a means of securing their freedom.
The principal, alongside other victims, was abducted by gunmen in the Ogbomoso axis of Oyo State in recent days, sparking widespread outrage and calls for stronger security intervention.
Bola Tinubu has also been urged by families and concerned citizens to support coordinated efforts aimed at securing the safe release of the abductees.
Authorities are yet to issue full details on the ongoing rescue operations, but security agencies are said to be working to track the location of the kidnappers.
The incident adds to growing concerns over insecurity in parts of Oyo State, where rural communities continue to experience repeated attacks and abductions.
