Army General recounts Oyo teachers, pupils rescue operation, as survivor relives captivity ordeals

# Army General Details Rescue of Oyo Teachers and Pupils

An Army General oversaw the handover of rescued teachers and pupils to Oyo State Governor Makinde on Monday, concluding a kidnapping operation in the state. During the handover, the senior military officer detailed the security agencies' approach to the rescue, noting that they refused to negotiate with the kidnappers despite facing sustained pressure to do so.

Among those present at the handover was a survivor who recounted experiences from captivity, providing firsthand accounts of the ordeal endured during the kidnapping period.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) commended the successful rescue operation in a press statement. However, the commission emphasized the need for continued action, calling on the government and security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue other Nigerians who remain in captivity from other ongoing abduction cases.
