Social media activist and commentator VeryDarkMan has called on residents of Ibadan and other parts of Oyo State to participate in a peaceful protest demanding the urgent release of students and teachers reportedly abducted during recent attacks in the state.
In a message shared across his social media platforms, VeryDarkMan urged citizens to “come out in numbers” and lend their voices to growing public pressure on authorities to secure the safe return of the victims. His appeal comes amid widespread anger and concern over insecurity in parts of Oyo State, where school-related abductions have sparked tension and disruption in several communities.
The protest call aligns with ongoing demonstrations already taking place in Ibadan, where residents, civil society groups, and education stakeholders have been demanding stronger security measures and swift rescue operations. Teachers’ unions in the state have also staged protests and industrial actions, insisting on urgent government intervention to protect schools and educational institutions.
The abductions, which reportedly involved students and teachers from affected school communities in Oyo State, have triggered heightened public concern, with many residents expressing frustration over recurring security challenges in the region.
Security agencies and state authorities have previously announced efforts to track and rescue the victims, including coordinated operations in suspected forest hideouts believed to be used by armed groups. However, no official confirmation has fully resolved public anxiety, as families and communities continue to await updates.
VeryDarkMan’s intervention adds to the growing list of voices calling for accountability, improved security response, and the immediate rescue of all abducted individuals.
As of the time of this report, authorities have not issued a formal response to the latest protest call, while security operations in affected areas are believed to be ongoing.
