According to the story in a viral video with narratives by Mr.Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, a Nigerian social media influencer and a content creator who describes himself as “online police,” governor Makinde is said to have paid ransom to the kidnappers.

The armed assailants stormed Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Community Grammar School, and L.A. Primary School.

One teacher was killed during the initial raid, and the kidnappers beheaded a mathematics teacher, Michael Oyedokun, while the victims were held in captivity.

According to the stories, dozens of victims, including toddlers, secondary students, and teachers, were herded into the vast forests of the Old Oyo National Park.
