Oyo Abduction: Direct Your Anger At Terrorists, Tinubu’s Aide Reportedly Tells Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu’s media aide, Dada Olusegun, on Monday said Nigerians should direct the bulk of their anger and criticisms over the abducted Oyo schoolchildren and staff to the terrorists who masterminded the abduction.

Mr Olusegun made the statement while responding to the outrage over the abduction of Oyo schoolchildren on X.

An X user @fix_nigeria_ had lashed out at President Bola Tinubu’s delegation to Oyo State, led by Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, saying, “You guys are definitely not on top of the situation, and there’s nothing to give assurances it won’t repeat itself. It has repeated itself many times in times past and in this administration.”

Responding to @fix_nigeria_’s post, Mr Olusegun said that though his outburst was understandable, the bulk of it should be targeted at the terrorists who abducted the Oyo schoolchildren and staff.

“I understand your anger, but a large bulk of it should be reserved for the cowardly terrorists who use kids as human shields,” Mr Olusegun said.

The presidential aide added, “These kids have to be rescued alive. It serves no purpose for our armed forces to charge in headfirst and hope for the best. They are kids, fgs!”

NAIJAONPOINT reports that for over 17 days, the terrorists have kept the abducted schoolchildren and teachers in captivity.

One of the abducted teachers, Michael Oyedokun, has been killed by the terrorists.
