Michael Oyedokun, one of the kidnapped teachers of Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, has been reportedly killed.
The gunmen invaded the school on Friday May 15 and abducted the principal, alongside other teachers and several students.
The attack, which happened some weeks after a failed kidnap attempt that left one traveler dead along Ibadan-Ijebu road, has renewed concerns over rising insecurity in parts of Oyo State and across Nigeria.
However, a new video released by the bandits on Sunday, May 17, 2026, captured the gunmen beheading Oyedokun.
The viral inhumane video has raised fresh concerns over the safety of the remaining victims.
The latest development has thrown the community into mourning as residents, families of the victims and native continue to call on security agencies and the Oyo State Government to intensify rescue operations to secure the release of those still in captivity before being killed.
As of the time of this report, authorities are yet to officially confirm the incident.
