What happened

Well supportedReported by 12 independent outlets

In May 2026, terror attacks targeted three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, resulting in the abduction of dozens of pupils and teachers, and the death of at least one teacher. This incident triggered nationwide outrage and led to a 56-day period of concern over banditry and insecurity in Ogbomoso, Oyo State. Separately, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde called for a total reset of Nigeria's economy, education, and security architecture.
