The City Boy Movement in Oyo State has donated medical supplies, cash support and scholarships to Esiele community in Oriire Local Government Area following the recent abduction of pupils and teachers.

 

The donation was made during a condolence visit led by the group’s state director, Olufemi Onireti, who expressed optimism that the abducted victims would soon be freed as security operations continue.

Scores of teachers and pupils were abducted on 15 May 2026 in coordinated attacks on Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota; Community Grammar School; and L.A. Primary School, Esiele, triggering widespread concern across Oyo State.

Onireti said the donated medical equipment and healthcare supplies were aimed at strengthening basic healthcare services in the affected community, while urging residents to remain hopeful and supportive of ongoing rescue efforts.

He also announced a cash donation of ₦1 million to the family of late teacher Michael Oyedokun, who died in the incident, alongside scholarships for his two sons.

Traditional leader, High Chief Tajudeen Abioye, the Elesinele of Esiele, commended both federal and state authorities for their response, while urging faster action to secure the release of the abducted pupils and teachers.

Government representatives have reportedly assured residents that efforts are ongoing to ensure the safe return of the victims.

INEC chairman Amupitan faces Nigerian protesters in London over 2027 polls

Nigerian protesters have confronted Joash Amupitan, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), outside Chatham House in London, demanding answers over alleged irregularities in the country’s electoral system ahead of the 2027 general elections.   The protesters accosted Amupitan on Thursday as he left the British think tank after participating in a panel discussion titled ‘Nigeria’s 2027 Elections: Democratic Trajectory and Regional Stability Beyond the Ballot’. According to a report by TheCable, the demonstrators surrounded the black vehicle conveying the INEC chairman and demanded that he address their concerns about alleged irregularities in Nigeria’s voter register. Videos circulating on social media showed protesters holding placards, recording the encounter and chanting at the electoral chief. “Why are you running? Come out and talk to us,” some of the protesters shouted. Another demonstrator was heard calling for the police to be contacted, insisting that Amupitan should come out and address their concerns. One of the placards displayed during the confrontation read: “Amupitan, no more election fraud”. However, the INEC chairman remained inside his vehicle and did not give an audible response to the protesters. INEC Under Scrutiny Over Voter Register The confrontation comes amid growing scrutiny of INEC following concerns raised last month over suspected AI-generated photographs appearing in the commission’s preliminary voter register. INEC subsequently said it had traced the photographs to alleged misconduct by some registration officers who had access to its registration portal. The controversy raised further questions about the integrity of the electoral register ahead of the 2027 general elections. Amupitan Addresses Concerns Over 2023 Elections During his Chatham House appearance, Amupitan acknowledged that glitches experienced during the transmission of results in the 2023 general elections had eroded public confidence in the commission. He, however, said INEC had taken steps to ensure the smooth and efficient conduct of the 2027 elections. The protesters’ confrontation highlights continuing concerns over electoral transparency and public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
