Several Nigerian musicians have joined growing calls for the rescue of pupils, students, and teachers abducted by gunmen from Baptist Nursery and Primary School (Yawota), Community Grammar School, and L.A Primary School (Esiele), all located in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, on May 15, 2026.
the media reports that 39 students and seven teachers were kidnapped during the attack, while two teachers were killed, triggering widespread outrage across the country.
Reacting to the incident, singer Victony called on President Bola Tinubu to address the worsening insecurity in the country and ensure the safe return of all kidnap victims, particularly the children.
In a post on his X handle, he wrote, “Save our children and put an end to this mess @officialABAT.”
Similarly, Davido expressed deep sorrow over the incident and the continued suffering of the victims in captivity, stressing that the insecurity crisis must not be allowed to persist.
Responding to reports about the victims’ ordeal in captivity via his Snapchat page, he wrote, “I’m weak. God please take control. We can’t continue like this. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. This is messed up.”
Timaya also weighed in, issuing a statement urging the Presidency to take immediate and decisive steps to address the growing security challenges across the country.
Part of his statement read, “We appeal to the government for greater urgency, collaboration, and concrete action in tackling the escalating security challenges confronting many parts of our nation.”
