• Sowore claimed that a person who allegedly collected a ₦400 million bribe on behalf of Gbajabiamila has died under mysterious circumstances.

• He further alleged that the hotel reportedly used to facilitate that bribe exchange has been demolished.

• Sowore accused the current administration of obstructing justice in addition to the crimes already being investigated.

• Medical Findings: During routine evaluations, doctors identified a congenital heart defect—specifically a hole in the heart—in one of the pupils, a condition previously unknown to the child’s parents. The child is stable, and the hospital is coordinating with the Oyo State Government to manage the next phase of treatment.

• Family Reactions: Parents and relatives expressed profound gratitude to God, the Federal and state governments, and security agencies for the victims’ safe return. Despite the harrowing experience, some families noted they have no plans to leave their communities.

• Psychological Support: The hospital is providing ongoing psychological support to all rescued individuals to assist in their recovery from the trauma experienced during their 56 days in the bush.

• Future Security Measures: Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, announced that the Federal Government plans to deploy specialized security units and establish two military bases in the Oriire Local Government Area to prevent future attacks.

The victims were originally abducted on May 15, 2026, during attacks on three schools: Baptist Nursery and Primary School (Yawota), L.A. Primary School, and Community Grammar School (Ahoro-Esienle).
