Kidnapped Oyo Principal Rachael Alamu Denies Sharia and N1bn Ransom Claims




Mrs. Rachael Alamu, the abducted principal of Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele, has issued an emotional and highly urgent clarification from an undisclosed kidnappers' hideout, heavily warning the public and the global community not to let state authorities politicize their lives. 

In a distressing video broadcast that went viral on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, marking exactly 25 days since armed bandits conducted a massive coordinated raid on three schools within the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Alamu bluntly refuted media claims indicating that the abductors demanded an absolute N1 billion ransom or the national enshrinement of Islamic Sharia law as strict pre-conditions for their liberty. 

Instead, the emotional educator explicitly clarified that the armed syndicate is purely seeking a prisoner exchange deal, demanding that the federal government release some of their detained associates currently being held in state custody.

The sudden video release immediately exacerbated ongoing civil unrest across Ogbomoso, where hundreds of grieving family members, parents, and community residents took to the streets to block critical transit highways and major arterial bypasses. 

Protesters expressed deep fury over the stark double standards in the nation's contemporary security apparatus, pointing out that while the biological sister and twin nieces of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, were tracked and dynamically rescued within barely 72 hours of their Ring Road abduction, the 40 innocent school pupils and rural teachers taken since May 15, 2026, have languished indefinitely in the wild. 

Despite a sweeping solidarity strike ordered by the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) designed to paralyze learning across Oyo State until a safe rescue is recorded, families of the victims fear that institutional bureaucracy and false intelligence narratives are actively stalling critical negotiation lines.
