The Nigerian Senate has approved a donation of N50 million to the families of five individuals who lost their lives in the abduction of pupils and teachers from schools in the Oriire local government area of Oyo State.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the donation
during plenary on Wednesday, describing their deaths as a painful sacrifice in
the nation’s fight against insecurity.
Akpabio lauded the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security
agencies for the successful rescue of the abducted victims after nearly two
months in captivity.
According to him, N10 million would be given to each of the
families of the two teachers murdered by the abductors and the three soldiers
who died during the rescue operation.
Akpabio stated that the gesture was aimed at providing some
support to the bereaved families and recognising the sacrifices made by the
deceased in the course of the tragic incident.
