Fresh facts have emerged over the abduction of school pupils and the killing of two teachers alongside an okada rider in Ahoro-Esiele, Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, as investigators uncovered how suspected informants allegedly maintained communication with the abductors through telephone conversations.

The Oyo State Police Command disclosed that investigators traced the suspects through calls believed to have been exchanged with the bandits during and after the operation.

According to the police, the conversations allegedly contained details on how the criminals could successfully navigate routes within the National Park to hidden locations used as safe havens.

The breakthrough led to the arrest of no fewer than six suspects, who are currently in police custody and assisting security agencies with ongoing investigations into the gruesome incident.

Confirming the development on Tuesday morning, the State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Olayinka Ayanlade, said the suspects were apprehended during coordinated security operations across different locations in the state.

“We have six suspects in custody and they are assisting the investigation,”[/b]Ayanlade said.

He added that preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects allegedly served as informants to the bandits responsible for the abduction and killings.

[b]“Our findings showed that some of the suspects were in contact with the abductors through telephone conversations and investigators are analysing those communications as part of efforts to uncover the full network behind the crime,” he stated.

Ayanlade further disclosed that security agencies uncovered discussions allegedly centred on routes through the National Park and locations believed to have been used by the criminals as hideouts.

“The conversations contained information on how the abductors could move through the National Park undetected and reach safe locations,” he added.

The police spokesman explained that the suspects were arrested during joint operations involving the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force, the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and Agro-Rangers.

“The arrests were made possible through intelligence-driven operations carried out by joint security operatives working collaboratively to dismantle the criminal network,” Ayanlade said.

He assured residents that security agencies were intensifying efforts to apprehend other fleeing members of the syndicate linked to the attack.

“We are committed to ensuring that every individual connected to this criminal act is identified, arrested and brought to justice. Investigations are still ongoing,” he said.

The incident, which claimed the lives of two teachers and an okada rider while school pupils were abducted last Friday, has continued to generate concern among residents of the affected communities and neighbouring areas in Oyo State.

Informants come trust kidnappers pass Nigerian police

Cuz you fit pass important information to police,make the same police later label you an accomplice to the crime itself,say how you take know

Instead of you as an informant to dey wait for your compensation after giving information to police,na handcuffs you go later see as reward

arrest all of them, lock them up and collect exorbitant bail...

Name the kidnappers.
We want to know what they sound like.
So that when we see them in another part of the country, we can be careful.

Police is your friend

They said a lot without saying nothing. Did any of the suspects reveal where the killer Fulani terrorists took the kidnapped school children and staff to? From which GSM mast did the calls from the kidnappers initiate from? The video of the teacher that was slaughtered yesterday was uploaded from which IP address?
The Nigerian police have dogs. Is is that those dogs are so useless and poorly trained that they can't be deployed to sniff out the trail of the abductors? Have any ransom demands being made? If yes, through what channels did the kidnappers establish contact to make such demands?

This is a huge slap on the face of the Tinubu led government but he is too dumb and incompetent to realise it.

NPF will release such details while investigations is still ongoing. How do you expect criminals nit to counter your moves.

Have they been rescued? That's what I want to know.

One issue I have with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that he prioritizes politics over governance. He has displayed that many times.

Last night, I watched Governor Seyi Makinde's press conference after a security meeting with service commanders and heads of security agencies in the state on the Friday morning kidnapping incident in Oriire LG of Oyo State.

He confirmed one killed, seven teachers, and an unknown number of students abducted.

We are talking about young children. I couldn't stand watching the video of the elderly people crying, begging for their relatives’ release.

This morning made it the third day since the incident occurred, and nothing from the Presidency yet. Not even a statement.

Even the President's spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, chose to repost a political article ‘Seyi and his 2027 gamble’ yesterday. Agbalagba toh sey lagba lagba.

Instead of the president visiting, or inviting GSM to Abuja for a briefing, he chose to host Otunba Gbenga Daniel last night over Ogun state politics.

I'm not sorry to say: We don't have a sensitive, empathetic, and responsive leader and these are important qualities of a good leader!

If you finally arrested these criminals now, the next 10 years you will still be taking them to different courts, until everyone forget about the incidence.

Get those kids backs, arm hunters with automatic tools.

They’ve been telling you people about this national park since about 2 years now. Yet you people didn't do anything about it. Now here we are.

The moment some Yorubas had the thought of bringing Sharia to the sw, that was it. Check all the state experiencing insecurity, na Sharia state

He added that preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects allegedly served as informants to the bandits responsible for the abduction and killings.

I am sure the government already knows where to rescue the abducted people.

Same. If they can find the precise location of the informants and arrest them, they can also find the precise location of the kidnappers and arrest them. So, why are the kidnappers still free?

So Police are tapping phone calls, nonsense news.

Nigeria police and cunny ways.

Sharing formula economy. I hail ooo.

This news is meaningless, are they just updating us on this situation cos every typed here is meaningless. No tangible kidnappers have been caught yet! Nobody has been released! You haven’t find where the are hiding yet. Seems like oyo state is bigger than Russia cos y haven’t they seen where they are hiding, Are they underground?

You don't need to disclose your strategy mister police.

Even if the informants didn't give signals to them, were they planning to comb the forest before? Awon fearful bastards. Only harmless Nigerians they can harm and be boastful. May the kidnapped people be rescued safely.

police and court don do their job.About time our GOVERNORS sign that judgement 🙄 😑 😒 😤 😐 🙄 ⁶
