Adesiyan Adegboye, one of the teachers killed during the coordinated attack at Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, will be laid to rest today, May 22, 2026, in Ogbomoso.
Adegboye, aged 49, was killed at the scene of the abduction last Friday.
According to a copy of the burial programme obtained by The PUNCH in Ibadan, the state capital, on Thursday, the deceased will be buried at his residence in the Owolake area of Ogbomoso today (Friday).
The deceased, born on December 11, 1976, was gruesomely murdered by yet-to-be-identified bandits, who invaded the schools around 9:30 am last Friday.
The PUNCH reports that scores of teachers and students were abducted during the coordinated attacks on Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, Community Grammar School and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, in Oriire Local Government Area of the state, on Friday around 9:30 a.m.
It will also be recalled that Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, who visited the scene of the incident on Saturday, deployed more detectives from the Force Headquarters, Abuja, to collaborate with the joint security team as part of intensified efforts to secure the release of the abducted teachers and students of three schools in Oriire Local Government Area.
The deployment was aimed at rescuing the victims unhurt.
Meanwhile, Governor Seyi Makinde had earlier confirmed that seven students were abducted from Community Secondary School, while 18 children and seven teachers were kidnapped from First Baptist Primary and Nursery School, adding that one person was killed during the attack.
This came as palpable fear gripped residents of the ancient city over an alleged invasion of the town by bandits.
The invasion led some parents to quickly rush to schools to take their children home, while some schools hurriedly shut down.
There were also rumours that bandits had infiltrated Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, an information the management of the institution described as false.
