IBADAN, OYO STATE– The Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board (OYOSUBEB) has formally confirmed a tragic security breach in the Ahoro-Esinele community of Oriire City government Area, which resulted in the death of a teacher and the abduction of an unofficial variety of pupils.
The coordinated attack targeted two neighbouring organizations: LA School and Community Grammar School, both in Ahoro-Esinele.
In a declaration released on Friday, Might 15, 2026, the Executive Chairman of the Board, Dr Nureni Aderemi Adeniran, explained the occurrence as a “uncomfortable moment” for the state’s education sector, mourning the loss of a dedicated educator who was eliminated during the attack.
Immediate Tactical Reaction
Following the attack, the Oyo State Government has triggered an emergency situation security protocol. A tactical reaction group, under the direct coordination of the Commissioner of Cops, has actually been released to the Oriire axis to comb the forests and track the perpetrators.
To guarantee the safety of learners and staff in surrounding areas, OYOSUBEB has actually bought the immediate and indefinite closure of all primary schools in neighbouring communities.
