Trailblazer Initiative Nigeria (TBI) strongly condemns the abduction of school children and teachers from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

On 15 May 2026, armed attackers reportedly invaded schools and communities, abducting 46 persons — 39 children and 7 school personnel — leaving families, schools, and entire communities devastated.

Behind every number is a child with dreams.
A pupil who deserves to be in a classroom.
A teacher dedicated to shaping lives.
A family waiting and praying for their safe return.

We stand in solidarity with the affected families, schools, and communities during this difficult period and call for intensified efforts by security agencies and relevant authorities to ensure the immediate and safe rescue of all victims.

We also call for urgent action to strengthen school safety measures across Oyo State and Nigeria. Every child deserves to learn in a safe and protected environment free from fear and violence.

Our message is clear:

✅ Bring them home safely
✅ Protect our schools
✅ Protect our children
✅ End attacks on education

We encourage citizens to share verified information with security agencies and support peaceful efforts aimed at securing the safe return of the victims.

Together, we can raise our voices for every child whose education and future have been interrupted by violence.

PRESS RELEASE: TRAILBLAZER INITIATIVE NIGERIA CONDEMNS THE ORIIRE LGA SCHOOL ABDUCTION IN OYO STATE

18 May 2026

Trailblazer Initiative Nigeria strongly condemns the recent abduction attack carried out against school children and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State on Friday, 15th May 2026.

The horrifying incident, which affected Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele, and Yawota Baptist Nursery and Primary School, reportedly led to the abduction of 46 persons, including 39 children and 7 teachers and school personnel. The attack also resulted in the tragic loss of lives, including a school official and a civilian within the affected community.

This disturbing act represents a grave violation of children’s rights, the right to education, and the safety and dignity of every child. Schools are meant to be safe spaces for learning, growth, and protection — not environments of fear, violence, and insecurity.

Trailblazer Initiative Nigeria expresses deep concern over the growing threats to the safety of children and educational institutions in Nigeria. The abduction of children, including toddlers and primary school pupils as young as two years old, highlights the urgent need for stronger child protection systems, improved school safety mechanisms, and coordinated emergency response structures across vulnerable communities.

We acknowledge the efforts of the Oyo State Government, security agencies, and relevant stakeholders currently working to rescue the abducted victims and apprehend those responsible for this criminal act. We urge authorities to ensure that rescue operations remain swift, child-sensitive, and guided by the best interests and safety of the affected children and families.

We further call on government institutions, humanitarian actors, development partners, community leaders, and civil society organizations to strengthen investments in:

* Safe school initiatives and school protection mechanisms
* Community-based surveillance and early warning systems
* Child safeguarding and emergency response frameworks
* Mental health and psychosocial support services for affected children and families
* Protection-focused interventions for vulnerable rural communities
* Intelligence gathering and rapid security response systems

The psychological, emotional, and educational impact of such incidents on children, families, and communities cannot be overstated. Beyond the immediate rescue efforts, there is an urgent need for long-term psychosocial care, trauma-informed support, and reintegration services for survivors and affected families.

Trailblazer Initiative Nigeria stands in solidarity with the affected schools, families, and communities during this difficult time and reiterates its commitment to advancing child protection, safeguarding vulnerable populations, promoting safe learning environments, and supporting efforts aimed at ending violence against children.

We call for the immediate and safe release of all abducted children and school personnel.

Every child deserves safety.
Every child deserves education.
Every child deserves protection.

Today, on the International Day of the Boy Child 2026, we celebrate the strength, dreams, creativity, and potential of every boy child across Nigeria and beyond.

At Trailblazer Initiative Nigeria, we believe that boys deserve safe spaces, quality education, positive mentorship, emotional support, and opportunities to thrive. Raising boys with empathy, integrity, respect, and leadership values is essential to building healthier families and stronger communities.

As we advocate for gender equality, child protection, mental wellbeing, and violence-free communities, we also recognize the importance of empowering boys to become responsible allies, compassionate leaders, and agents of positive change.

Today, we call on parents, schools, community leaders, and policymakers to invest intentionally in the wellbeing and development of boys while creating environments where every child can reach their full potential.

Happy International Day of the Boy Child 2026!
Every boy matters. Every dream counts.

Say NO to Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM).

FGM is a harmful practice that violates the rights, health, and dignity of women and girls. It has no medical benefit and can cause lifelong physical, emotional, and psychological harm.

Together, we can end it—through awareness, education, and collective action. Speak up, support survivors, and protect the next generation.

End FGM. Protect girls. Promote dignity.

Mental health matters—every day, for everyone.

At Trailblazer Initiative Nigeria, we recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health. From the pressures of daily life to the realities faced by vulnerable communities, mental wellbeing plays a critical role in how we live, work, and relate with others.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to check in with yourself and others. Speak up, seek support, and show kindness—because no one should struggle in silence.

Together, we can break the stigma, promote understanding, and build a society where mental health is prioritized and protected.
