The abduction of over fourty school children from two different schools in Oyo state has now stirred massive national outrage and anger across the nation.
The nationwide protest the Nigeria Union of Teachers declared over the school abductions in Oyo State gained momentum on Tuesday, as some schools in Bayelsa State reportedly joined the mass action.
Video clips making rounds on social media captioned schoolchildren and teachers in Bayelsa State on the street marching, chanting solidarity songs, further demanding the immediate rescue of students and teachers currently held by terrorists.
A Facebook video shared by Golden Agagowei showed pupils of Community Primary School, Isoni, in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State standing outside their classrooms in their blue uniforms.
In a video posted on Facebook by Gberenemi Ozu, a crowd of secondary students held up handwritten placards and chanted the popular labour anthem: “Solidarity forever, we shall always fight for our right!”
BACKSTORY…
This comes after the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) declared an indefinite strike in Oyo state, demanding urgent rescue of schoolchildren and teachers abducted in Oriire LGA by suspected bandits on May 15.
The NUT also directed teachers in public primary and secondary schools in the state to withdraw their services beginning today over the continued abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in the state.
