Oriire LGA, Oyo State – Heartbreaking and shocking news has just emerged as one of the teachers abducted from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle, has been confirmed killed by his captors.…....
Michael Oyedokun, a dedicated teacher who was on duty supporting education in Nigeria, was among those seized when armed gunmen stormed the school on Friday, May 15, 2026. The attackers abducted the school principal, several other teachers, and multiple students before fleeing into the forest.
Tragically, reports now confirm that Oyedokun has been slaughtered by the kidnappers. He was reportedly beheaded in cold blood, with disturbing details of his execution circulating as the latest act of barbarism in the ongoing school attacks in Oyo State.
The Oyo State Police Command had earlier confirmed the invasion and abduction, but the confirmation of the teacher’s death has left parents, colleagues, and the entire nation in mourning and outrage.
This latest killing comes as other victims, including a nursing mother, remain in captivity with fresh videos showing their desperate pleas for rescue. Hunters and soldiers battling the kidnappers in the forest earlier revealed the bandits are using sophisticated “Boko Haram weapons,” raising fears that the situation is far more dangerous than previously thought.
Nigerians are furious, asking how teachers who risk their lives every day to educate children can be treated with such wickedness. Many are calling on the Oyo State Government and the Federal Government to immediately rescue the remaining hostages and crush the bandits operating in the area.
The death of Michael Oyedokun has once again highlighted the deadly insecurity facing schools in Southwest Nigeria. Teachers and students now go to school in fear, with many parents considering keeping their children at home.
