Kidnapped School Children: Sir Dele Abiola Calls for time to time updates from the government
OGBOMOSHO — As the school children and their teachers kidnapped by the bandits terrorists are still in captivity, Sir Dele Abiola has called for a time to time updates from the government.
According to the former Labour Party leader in Oyo State, the last we heard was that a thousand Forest Guards were deployed and that the terrorists have been trapped in the Old Oyo National Park, since then there have not been any meaningful update either from Oyo State government or the federal government.

Sir Dele during the internet calls said: "Declaring curfew by Oyo State Government and the diversionary tactics with Akara and Kulikuli empowerment by the Presidency via the office of the first Lady Oluremi Tinubu can not help. The leadership must wake up to their responsibilities and delivered. The country must be safe for all and sundry."
'More importantly, the leadership in Oyo and Abuja should ensure that, the Bandits' and their kidnapped victims are not evacuated by the terrorist networks who have reported being using helicopters. "We have seen it over the web and social media that helicopters are being used to supply foods and ammunition to the criminals unrestricted in some parts of this country. "
"If the Nigeria's airspace is so porous that helicopters are being used for supplies of weapon and foods to the Bandits' and terrorists threatening our peace and existence without any accountability, the Leaders complicity can not be exonerated." He said.
On May 15, 2026, armed bandits raided three schools in the Oriire Local Government Area in Ogbomosho zone of Oyo State, abducting at least 39 school children and seven teachers.
The victims who were seized by the terrorists from Baptist Nursery and Primary School (Yawota), Community Grammar School (Esiele), and L.A. Primary School (Ahoro-Esinele), remain in captivity.
The bandits killed two teachers, including Michael Oyedokun, who was gruesomely beheaded while in captivity. The Movement Nigeria (TMN) a candle Night-Vigil in Ibadan, Oyo State Capital in his honour.
Report in the public domain is that security forces have cornered the kidnappers and blocked their escape routes, forcing them to hold the victims inside the Old Oyo National Park.
Nigeria's President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ordered the deployment of special security forces and forest guards, while Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde is said to be coordinating efforts with local vigilantes and security agencies.
Makinde has urged the public to report any suspicious activities by calling the toll-free 615 helpline.
The June 12 Democracy day rally and protest in different states including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were dedicated to a call for an improved security of lives and properties in the country.
Like never before, Nigeria, the most populous black nation on earth has been suffering from attacks of Boko Haram, ISWAP, Herdsmen, bandits and kidnapping for ransoms since 2009.

US and Iran to resume talks after halting tit-for-tat strikes over Strait of Hormuz
 |
| Iran's Supreme Leader |
Both Washington and Tehran agreed to "stand down" and return to negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz, a US official told Reuters — free traffic resumes.
Talks will cover the June 17 MoU, with a focus on commercial shipping and a direct military hotline to prevent future incidents, according to Axios.
Iran and the United States have agreed to halt recent hostilities and renew talks regarding their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, a US official says, raising hopes of saving an interim peace deal that was under pressure from days of tit-for-tat strikes.
Iran has also confirmed that the country has prepared 500 intercontinental ballistic missiles in response to any potential attack.
If true, this marks a dramatic escalation in deterrence messaging. One miscalculation could push the region into a conflict far beyond its borders

WAKE UP CALL TO THE DAY DREAMERS, IMPERSONATORS, TO STOP THE CHILDISH FANTASIES UNDERMINING OUR PARTY
WAKE UP CALL TO THE DAY DREAMERS, IMPERSONATORS, TO STOP THE CHILDISH FANTASIES UNDERMINING OUR PARTY

The authentic leadership of the Labour Party in Ogun State, which emerged through a legally constituted and organized State Congress held on, April 25th, 2026, as led by Apagun Olaolu Samuel and fully recognized by the electoral body wishes to address the public and all faithful party members to dissociate themselves from group of meddlesome Interlopers, structures hijackers, and transactional politicians parading themselves as the leaders of Labour Party, Ogun State
The congress was duly monitored and observed by security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission. It followed all constitutional and democratic procedures required for the emergence of state officers. That process confirms the legitimacy of the current executive, of which I, Apagun Olaolu Samuel, serve as State Chairman.
It has come to our attention that a group of meddlesome interlopers and impersonators are attempting to hijack the state structure without participating in the legal and democratic process. This act is not just unlawful, it is a child’s play that damages the image and credibility of the Labour Party in Ogun State. Rejoinders was once written against their petition to the State Police headquarters and Department of State Security when we were not invited after over 60 hours of seeing it published on social media as both of them were witnesses to the processes leading to our emergence and inauguration. Later we were invited by the DSS once, when they realized their claims cannot be substantiated, we were not recalled.
We urge these individuals to desist immediately from furthering a claim on a letter as being showcased by them as a stroke of pen cannot change the mandate freely given through a legal democratic process. The INEC cannot be bought, having played their constitutional role in our emergence. They are hereby advised to stop fanning the embers of division as their childish fantasies are just helping to demarket the party, confuse members, and weaken the structure we are building ahead of 2027p elections. Labour Party Ogun State will not recognize, negotiate with, or entertain any group that bypassed the congress and due process.
We call on all genuine members, stakeholders, INEC, security agencies, and the media to take note and only relate with the leadership that emerged from the April 25th, 2026 congress. Any other claim to leadership is false, unauthorized, and amounts to impersonation.
Furthermore, disciplinary actions to be served on some of the State Working Committee members ,who engaged in anti party activities alongside the impostors are awaiting ratification by the State Executive Committee as the INEC, Ogun State was duly copied and notified of their anti party activities.
Labour Party Ogun State remains committed to due process, internal democracy, and rebuilding the party for the people ahead of the upcoming elections.

NIGERIA: MAXIMUM PAINS FOR GREATER NUMBERS OF PEOPLE — SIR DELE ABIOLA
"Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do. On one hand the standard of right and wrong, on the other hand the chain of causes and effects, are fastened to their throne" — Jeremy Bentham.
The ultimate reason behind the postulation for the creation of a sovereign modern State and government as the agency of state is the ultimate satisfactions and the realizations of human personality. This , Kant had treated in his famous dictum, that morality consist in treating persons as ends and not as means. And for this same too, Jefferson courageously affirmed when he said the government exist to protect and realize the inalienable rights of man.
Among the inalienable and natural rights; right to life, self defense among others.
For the society to escape the Hobbesian state of Nature and the survival of the fittest, where lives was described as nasty, brutish, poor, solitary and short. The existence of state and it's agencies enable individuals to submit parts of these inalienable rights to state for equitable redistribution of justice with fairness and equity.
The above defined the primary responsibilities of the State as primarily protection of lives and properties, and provisions of essential services which are beyond the capacity of the individuals. The resources which would have hitherto based on the survival of the fittest placed in the domains of the State and it's agencies.
In the pre slavery Africa and pre colonial era, communalism thrived among the people, communities and cleans. The survival of the fittest had no place contrary to today's African States especially Nigeria in particular which had long ago returned to primitive acquisition era by the privileged few/minority who are for the sake of their greediness, become the agents of enemies without as they themselves emerged the enemies within against anything that Will lead to the common good, happiness and pleasure of the majority in the land.
The comparisons and acceptability of governments, regime by regime have absolutely been based on the two sovereign masters as postulated by Bentham, pains and pleasures as occasioned by the wellbeing of the majority starting with the protection of the inalienable rights of man — protection of lives and properties, and provisions of essential services to the citizenry. While Jeremy Bentham called for maximum pleasures for greater numbers of people, it has been maximum pains for greater numbers of people in Nigeria by any standard of measurement in this global Capital of world's poverty.
In the cases where a State failed in these primary responsibilities, it is also natural for the man to reclaimed his inalienable rights to ensure his survival, in this regard, the society may eventually resumes/return to the Hobbesian state before any regrouping to ensure orderliness. This maybe inevitable when all necessary provisions and institutional redresses have failed. Nigeria under this current civilian regime is toying such a line.
Insecurity in Nigeria today is in all fronts starting with insecurity of lives and properties of the Nigerian citizens ranging to the socioeconomic perils where citizens are most concerned again. The sociopolitical sphere of our national life that should afford the people the opportunity as occasioned by maximum pains, in what to do, especially for leadership redress and change via ballots have been compromised already. The just concluded Ekiti governorship election clearly portrayed what to come by in the 2027 general elections with already dilapidated and fractioned opposition political parties, courtesy of the incumbent's agenda to perpetuate itself even in the face of abysmal failures.
The compromised electoral umpire in the country (Independent National Electoral Commission - INEC) allegedly gave to the pro Terrorists APC led government, over 400,000 uncollected voter cards that undermine the outcome of the said election in favour of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
As the abysmal failures of the Tinubu led APC government is more glaring to the whole wide world with numerous victims of insecurity across the length and breadth of our country innumerable, and many living in perpetual fear, redeeming our present unsavoury image in the international community as a crime conquered nation, giving hope to the citizens that they are saved seemed an uneasy tasks as sociopolitical system is firmly captured already by a group using insecurity as a weapon for both wealth and power capturing.
This insecurity, it has become impossible for the watching world and Nigerians in particular not to believe that the government of the day at all tiers and the security hierarchies at their command have allowed insecurity to deteriorate to this level of daily peril and bring our country totally to her knees because some unpatriotic elements in position of policy, decisions and actions benefit from the protracted reign of terrors and insecurity in our country.
It is an unarguable truth that today, virtually no inch of Nigeria soil, from the far north to the south, is safe for her citizens. This is a direct by-product of leadership failure in the government's foremost constitutional responsibility of protecting lives and properties.
Nothing is wrong with the Nigerian State except leadership failures as a result of compromises, and ineffectiveness as a result of incompetency. The country can no longer be managed by those who claimed that they loved the country, have the fear of God but lack capacity to deliver, who have lost touch of the reality of the modern governance.

Has Nigerian State ever been without damming security challenges? No. From slavery and pre colonial days, and after the Independence to Civil war and even till date, the geographical entity called Nigeria has always been a land of intermittent pogroms. Only that the state and government apparatus especially post civil war have been living up to the expectations of the people compared to the situation since the APC leadership emergency since 2015. Terrorism in today's Nigeria, without much argument can be adjudged as the state owned and sponsored institution and indeed a very lucrative institution for that matter but at the expenses of the happiness of the common man and the interests of the majority of the citizenry served as the alternative for gone for the satisfaction of the greediness of the minority who firmly captured the country.
Nigeria of today is caught in a deplorable quagmire where, gradually to this time, our farmers can no longer access their farms and many villages have been deserted as a result of bandits' attacks and plunder, and mass abduction for ransom, leading to food shortages in our dear land. Sadly, this has further deteriorated to an all-time nightmare where innocent and tender school children and their teachers have joined the menu of terrorist abductions and massacre. The recent been in Oriire Local government of Oyo state, is a condemnable trend in the strongest term.
Today, the country's leadership have failed us in all major primary purposes and reasons for the existence of Governance in the first instance. The protection of lives and properties which comes first as the primary responsibility of government have been betrayed.
Secondly in the socioeconomic arena, the provisions of essential services by the government have ever been at zero level while the unsecured and unprotected citizens have been subjected to heavy and maximum taxations. For NIGERIANS Since the emergence of APC leadership in 2015 till date, it has been maximum pains for greater numbers of people.
Contrary to the country's leadership claims, terrorists are not prodigal sons , nor are they our brothers and as such no genuine and patriotic individuals will approve negotiations with the criminals threatening our existence , let alone training and their reabsorption into any State institution, except those profiting from the discomfort of the majority. THE WHOLE SALES TERRORISM, KIDNAPPING AND BANDITRY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY CAN NOT STAND.
Keeping quiet by Nigerians can no longer help anyone, Nigerians must ensure the country's leadership is accountable and ensure the school children and others in the captivity of the bandit terrorists are brought back home safely by any means possible by both the federal and state governments' collaboration.
If the leadership compromised and the desires to profit from our collective pains are removed, Nigeria State have the capacity to make the country a safer place for all and sundry.
IMMEDIATE AND LONG TERM SOLUTION TO AVOID EVENTUAL RETURN TO STATE OF NATURE
1. Immediate securing of our schools (public and private) with deployment of existing security operatives or creation of a special paramilitary cadets for this purpose. Closures of schools can never be a good ideal.
2. Empowerment of 50 percent of Nigerian Youths in agriculture and agro-allied businesses will compelled the drastic reduction of banditry.
3. Practical teaching and learning system in all of our educational institutions to produce self-dependent , self-reliant and productive individuals who will not be jobless or writing applications after graduation.
4. Firmly and effectively securing our boarders.
5. Publishing names and prosecuting financials of terrorism in Nigeria as well as the prosecution of terrorists by death penalty.
6. Compensation for the victims of terrorism and their immediate families.
7. Satellite and drones deployment will minimize the collateral damages on the parts of our security personnel.
8. Alternatively, Citizens should be fully armed for self defense.
WITH PAIN ON THE THRONE DITCHING OUT MAXIMUM TORTURES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, EAST TO WEST, NIGERIANS NEED TO DEVELOP A BLUEPRINT AND ROADMAP FOR POSITIVE CHANGE THAT WILL LEAD THE COUNTRY TO THE DESIRED POLITICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC STABILITY THAT THE CITIZENS DESPERATELY DESIRED.
A GENERATIONAL CHANGE IN THE COUNTRY'S LEADERSHIP IS A PANACEA.
