Burial arrangements have begun for Adesiyan Adegboye, the teacher killed during last Friday’s coordinated attack on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, with funeral rites held on Friday at Ayegun Baptist Church, Ogbomoso.
Adegboye, 49, was shot dead when armed bandits invaded Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School, and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, in a coordinated assault that left the communities in shock.
The attackers reportedly stormed the schools around 9:30 a.m., abducting several teachers and students during the operation, which triggered panic across the affected areas.
Following the incident, the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, visited the scene on Saturday and ordered the deployment of additional detectives from the Force Headquarters in Abuja to support ongoing rescue operations.
Security authorities said the reinforcements were aimed at strengthening efforts to secure the safe release of abducted pupils and teachers still in captivity.
Meanwhile, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, confirmed that seven students were abducted from Community Secondary School, while 18 pupils and seven teachers were taken from First Baptist Primary and Nursery School, adding that one person was killed during the attack.
