The Sooko Agoriesin of Ile-Ife, Oladotun Hassan, has condemned the recent attack on schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, describing the incident as a disturbing tragedy that must never be allowed to continue in the country. In a statement the royal father who doubles as the Aare Yoruba Agbaye, President of the apex umbrella body for all Yoruba indigenous people globally: Yoruba Council Worldwide expressed deep concern over the abduction of students and teachers from schools within the Ahoro-Esiele/Yawota axis of Ogbomoso by armed gunmen.
Sooko Hassan lamented the growing insecurity confronting schools and rural communities, saying the attack on innocent pupils, teachers and residents represents a direct threat to the future of education and national peace. He described the killings recorded during the incident, including that of an abducted teacher, Mr. Michael Oyedokun, Assistant Headmaster Joel Adesiyan and others, as barbaric, wicked and unacceptable.
Educational institutions should remain safe environments for learning and moral development not centres of fear, violence and bloodshed.
