Onanuga Criticizes Atiku Over Silence on Rescued Oyo Pupils, Praises Obi’s Response

The presidential aide slammed the opposition candidate for saying nothing 18 hours after 39 pupils and seven teachers were freed. He noted that Atiku had frequently used the abductions for political point-scoring while the victims were held. He contrasted this with Peter Obi’s prompt statement calling for thanksgiving over the safe return. Obi thanked the security agencies for the operation, though he stopped short of praising the president directly. The victims were kidnapped 57 days ago in separate attacks on two schools in Oyo State’s Oriire area. Authorities say the rescue involved no negotiations and led to eight arrests and the neutralisation of several suspects.
