criticised Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over his call for a United Nations-led investigation into the abduction of pupils and teachers in the state, describing the demand as unnecessary and politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Makinde, while formally assuming responsibility for the welfare, rehabilitation and education of the 45 teachers and pupils rescued after spending 56 days in captivity on Monday, called for a UN-backed investigation into the abduction, saying Nigerians deserved a full account of the circumstances surrounding the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armed bandits had on May 15, 2026 attacked three schools in Yawota and Ahoro Esienle communities in Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo State, abducting the 39 pupils and six teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the governor\u2019s request suggested a lack of confidence in Nigeria\u2019s security institutions, insisting that the military and other security agencies had already provided explanations on the rescue operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onanuga, in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH, said the Presidency had no objection to an international body examining the incident if Makinde believed there were unresolved issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidency on Monday criticised Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde over his call for a United
