The senator representing Oyo North Senatorial District, Abdulfatai Buhari, has revealed that the kidnappers who abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo State tied as many as eight children together on a motorcycle while conveying them into the forest.
Mr Buhari, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the abductors, armed with machine guns, escorted the children and teachers deep into the forest while recording videos of the operation.

The senator disclosed this while speaking with journalists at the National Assembly on Wednesday, recounting details of the abduction.
“When they were taking the children away, six, seven or eight children, they would tie them back to each other. One person would be in front of the Okada, another one would be at the back of the Okada with a machine gun. You can see that terrifying situation. And they were videoing themselves and releasing it,” he said.
