Presidency faults Makinde's UN probe call over Oyo school abduction

The Nigerian Presidency criticized Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's call for a UN-led probe into the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area. Presidential adviser Bayo Onanuga described the demand as unnecessary and politically motivated, though he left the door open for an international investigation if Makinde insists. Onanuga noted that the rescue operation came at a heavy cost, with soldiers and Amotekun members killed, and one teacher murdered in captivity. He accused Makinde, a presidential aspirant, of weaponizing the incident for political gain.
