Abducted Oyo Principal Raises Alarm, Says Kidnappers Threaten to Kill Hostages if Military Rescue Is Attempted

One of the victims abducted during the recent attack on schools in Oyo State, Principal Rachael Alamu, has reportedly sent a distressing message from captivity, warning that the kidnappers have threatened to kill all hostages if security forces attempt another forceful rescue operation.
According to Alamu, the armed abductors have vowed to execute the captives should soldiers launch another offensive into their hideout without prior negotiations.

“They have vowed to behead all of us if soldiers enter the bush again by force to rescue us, unless dialogue is considered as quickly as possible,” the abducted principal reportedly stated.

The warning comes amid growing concerns over the safety of dozens of pupils, teachers, and school administrators kidnapped during coordinated attacks on schools in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

Families of the victims have continued to plead with authorities to prioritize the safe return of their loved ones, expressing fears that any aggressive rescue attempt could further endanger the captives.

The abduction has drawn national attention, prompting visits from top government and security officials, including representatives of the Federal Government and Oyo State Government. Authorities have assured the public that efforts are ongoing to secure the release of the victims while ensuring their safety.

Security agencies are yet to officially comment on the latest claims attributed to the abducted principal. However, the incident has reignited debates over the best approach to tackling kidnappings, with opinions divided between military intervention and negotiated releases.

As anxiety grows among affected families and communities, many Nigerians are calling for swift and decisive action to bring the victims home safely.
