Renowned Nigerian indigenous gospel musician, Yinka Alaseyori, has issued a profound public apology to the nation following intense social media backlash over her recent commentary regarding the ongoing student and teacher abduction crisis in Oyo State.
The controversy stems from a mass security breach on May 15, 2026, when heavily armed bandits invaded Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele in the Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, kidnapping seven teachers and multiple students before brutally beheading an educator in a graphic viral broadcast that has triggered nationwide labor union strikes and civil unrest.
Reacting to the gridlock in a video broadcast, Alaseyori had heavily urged Nigerians to temper their grievances and support President Bola Tinubu’s administration and national security agencies entirely with intensive prayers.

The comment sparked immediate outrage from citizens, activists, and fellow entertainment celebrities, who heavily criticized the singer for demonstrating gross insensitivity and leaning on passive religious appeals rather than demanding concrete political accountability and decisive military warfare.
Tendering her retraction in a fresh broadcast on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, the Oniduro Mi crooner tearfully begged grieving mothers and angry citizens for forgiveness, clarifying that her initial one-and-a-half-hour video was a comprehensive session of grief and intercession for the victims that was maliciously clipped out of context by netizens.
"Mothers, please don't be angry with me. I beg you in God’s name, please forgive me if I ever spoke as if I’m insensitive," she pleaded, asserting she would never intentionally silence the voices of Nigerians demanding real-world safety.
