Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu calls on the Nigerian government to release CCTV footage related to the kidnapping of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State. Yesufu makes the demand in a post on her verified X account early on Saturday, saying authorities should “bring out the CCTV” of those responsible for the abduction and subsequent terror. Her comments come after remarks by Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo, who had publicly responded to Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi. Keyamo, according to reports, asked Obi to apologize to airport authorities and pay a ₦25,000 fine over an alleged breach of parking regulations at Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Yesufu dismisses the airport-related controversy as a distraction from insecurity issues. She argues that public attention should instead focus on transparency and concrete evidence in investigations and efforts to tackle kidnappings. The demand also reflects wider public concern about recurring abductions and calls for security reforms.
