Suspected terrorists responsible for the audacious mass abduction of schoolchildren and faculty members within Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State have officially broken their silence and established active communication channels, Saturday PUNCH has reliably gathered.
The armed bandits struck multiple communities earlier in the week, seizing victims from educational institutions spanning Esinele, Yamota, and Alawusa towns.
Highly credible intelligence sources confirmed on Friday that while the criminal elements have initiated contact, they have explicitly bypassed the distraught families of the victims entirely, setting a rigid operational precondition for any ongoing engagement.
"They said they only want to talk to the governor and nobody else. That was the condition they gave for negotiation. So, nobody knows the details and what they are demanding," a top security source revealed.

It remains officially unverified whether Governor Seyi Makinde is personally handling the highly sensitive dialogue or if a designated state negotiation team has taken over the interface.
Despite the tense circumstances, institutional insiders state that the active communication loop offers a glimmer of operational relief, as tactical rescue maneuvers carry extremely high casualty risks for the young captives.
The specific demands and logistics put forward by the terror syndicate are currently being kept under strict intelligence wraps to avoid compromising the tactical safety of the children and educators.
When contacted via digital brief, the Special Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on Security, Abayomi Fagbenro, remained tight-lipped, issuing a terse statement: "I can’t give any information at the moment."
