In a deeply moving statement released on his official Facebook handle, the Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, has revealed the horrifying details behind the 50-day captivity of abducted school students and teachers who recently regained their freedom.

THENEWSCREDIT reports that The first-class monarch broke the news following a high-powered emotional visit to the Ojoo Military Cantonment in Ibadan, where the victims are currently undergoing medical treatment and evaluations.

The Soun, who was joined by Oba Thompson Adeyeye Oyetunji (the Alaajawa of Ajaawa), Oba Bolarinwa Ezekiel Olajide (the Onisapa of Isapa), and Distinguished Senator Fatai Buhari, listened first-hand to the testimonies of the survivors.

The monarch concluded his message with a solemn plea for the nation to remember and pray for all citizens still held in captivity across Nigeria, praying that Ogbomosoland never experiences such a sorrowful security breach again.
