In a video shared by Oyo Affairs, Makinde said the call was not to undermine Nigeria’s institutions but to ensure accountability and transparency. He emphasized that Nigerians deserve a full explanation of what led to the abduction and how it was resolved.

“This is not about politics. It is about justice for the victims and restoring public confidence that every Nigerian child can go to school without fear,” Makinde stated.

The governor reminded the Federal Government of its constitutional duty to safeguard national security and urged a comprehensive review to prevent future attacks on schools.

The pupils and teachers, kidnapped on May 15, 2026, were freed after over 50 days in captivity and handed over to the state government following medical treatment and psychosocial support.
