The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) responds to the reported rescue of pupils and teachers kidnapped from schools in Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo State. CAN says the abducted children and teachers are reunited with their families after 56 days in captivity, and the association expresses gratitude to God for what it describes as the successful operation.
CAN also calls for continued action, saying there are still other people believed to remain in captivity even after the rescue. In a separate message, CAN’s leadership praises Governor Seyi Makinde for supporting affected families and for efforts aimed at rehabilitating the rescued victims.
Both reports present the rescue as a significant development in the Oyo abduction case while emphasizing that the situation is not yet fully resolved. CAN’s comments also include an appeal to the federal government, referenced in one outlet, urging sustained attention until all those taken during the incident are found and released.
