Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has approved a 24-hour extension of the curfew imposed on 10 local government areas bordering the Old Oyo National Park.

The extension was announced by the Secretary to the State Government, Musibau Babatunde, in a memo issued on Thursday, according to a statement by the governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Sulaimon Olanrewaju.

The state government had earlier announced a curfew from 4pm to 8am in the 10 local government areas on June 23, 2026.

According to the statement, with the extension, the curfew, which was initially scheduled to last 48 hours, will remain in force until Saturday, June 27, 2026.

The affected local government areas are “Oriire (headquarters: Ikoyi-Ile); Orelope (headquarters: Igboho); Irepo (headquarters: Kisi); Saki West (headquarters: Saki); Saki East (headquarters: Ago-Amodu); Atisbo (headquarters: Tede/Ago-Are); Itesiwaju (headquarters: Otu); Iseyin (headquarters: Iseyin); Olorunsogo (headquarters: Igbeti); and Atiba (headquarters: Offa-Meta, Oyo).”

PUNCH Online reports that the directive is the latest security measure implemented following the May 15, 2026, bandits’ attack on three schools—Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Community Grammar School and L.A. Primary School—in Yawota and Ahoro-Esienle, Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

During the attack, bandits killed a teacher, while scores of schoolchildren and teachers were kidnapped and have since been held captive. One teacher was also beheaded while in captivity.

The federal and state governments said they are working with security agencies to secure the release of the abductees unharmed.

Makinde has also repeatedly vowed to leave no stone unturned to ensure the safe release of the victims and reunite them with their families.

Good one from the government. But to what end?

Why it took them so long sha

Is this not enough reason for the incompetent and clueless disaster in charge to resign?

Terrorists are in the forest correcting millions as ransom, while curfew is being imposed on the people. It's well

Drastic move... Good development..

I don't trust government but emmm... just because I pray everyday for those kids to come back (RIP to those that have already gone), I hope this curfew is a good chance for our Army to deploy every manner of tech and tactics to bring them home without extra casualty.

I pray this story ends but those kids that finally get to make it out alive will never be the same. A lifetime of deep trauma.

Common sense will tell people like you that we have a sitting Governor as the Chief security of the State who did not hs job and who you should ask what he has been doing with the security votes. Everybody keeps blaming Tinubu.

We will soon go our separate ways
