Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde calls for intensified efforts to rescue more than 40 children abducted in Borno State, who are reported to remain in captivity 137 days after the abductions.
The reports frame Makinde’s appeal as part of broader efforts following an Oyo State-related rescue that has involved children affected by the same incident. Vanguard notes the appeal comes alongside developments indicating some children have already been recovered, while emphasizing that others are still missing in Borno.
Both outlets describe Makinde as urging urgent action to secure the children’s freedom. While the Punch focuses on the long period of captivity and the need for continued rescue operations, Vanguard highlights the contrast between rescues already carried out and the fact that over 40 children still have not been found.
