Atiku’s Aide Drags Sunday Igboho Before the DSS; Demands Immediate Interrogation Over Shocking Claim He Knows Politicians Behind Oyo School Raids

The tense atmosphere surrounding the mass abduction of students and educators in Oyo State has taken a sharp political turn. The media high command of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has formally called on the Department of State Services (DSS) to summon Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, over his explosive claims that he knows the political masterminds funding the regional kidnapping syndicates.

The sudden political fallout erupted on Thursday after a video clip went viral across social media portals showing Igboho addressing the newly minted executive council of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) at his Soka residence in Ibadan. During the briefing, the activist asserted that the devastating May 15, 2026, raids on classrooms across the Oriire Local Government Area near Ogbomoso were not random acts of banditry, but highly coordinated ops aggressively bankrolled and armed by internal political saboteurs. Igboho warned that he would completely expose the identities of these highly placed figures if their criminal activities inside the forest corridors did not cease immediately.

Reacting swiftly via an intensive public declaration on Thursday evening, Paul Ibe, the Media Adviser to Atiku Abubakar, stated that the state security apparatus must immediately pull Igboho in for questioning. Ibe maintained that when national security fractures reach a point where innocent learners are turned into pawns in a ruthless ransom economy, no individual—regardless of political standing or status—should be allowed to hoard critical intelligence that could aid a technical rescue.

“Since Sunday Igboho claims to know those behind the abduction of students and teachers in Oriire, Oyo State, I think that the State Security Service (SSS) and other security agencies need to invite him to release those names to them,” Ibe declared with absolute candor. “Every option should be on the table to fast-track the safe release of the school children and teachers. We cannot afford to treat statements of this magnitude as mere social media theater while our daughters and educators are sleeping in harsh wilderness trenches.”

The call for an immediate DSS intervention comes amid rising anxiety over the condition of the hostages. The public trauma deepened significantly following a heart-wrenching distress video recorded inside the bush by the abducted Vice Principal of Community Grammar School, Ahoro-Esinele, Mrs. Folawe Alamu. Kneeling in the dirt, the distraught educator pleaded with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Seyi Makinde to halt all aggressive military rescue scripts and immediately enter into an administrative dialogue manual with the captors, warning that a previous forceful push by security forces backfired terribly and resulted in the brutal execution of mathematics teacher Michael Oyedokun.

Leveraging the gravity of the Oyo crisis, Atiku’s media aide unzipped a scathing structural indictment against the federal cabinet, accusing the presidency of demonstrating an alarming regional bias in its handling of national security challenges. Ibe pointedly raised queries regarding a massive, overlooked security fracture that occurred on the exact same day in the North-East, asking why the central treasury and military high command have chosen to execute a totally silent manual regarding the separate abduction of over 50 schoolchildren in Mussa, Borno State.

“By the way, who knows those behind the abduction of over 50 school children in Mussa, Borno State on May 15, 2026?” Ibe questioned. “Why is Tinubu and his government mute over the Borno abduction? Are those school children not Nigerians? When will the Commander-in-Chief and Consoler-in-Chief send a delegation to Mussa like it did in the case of Oriire? A life lost or threatened in Borno is just as catastrophic as a life threatened in Oyo, and the defense shield of this nation must be deployed equally across all borders.”

As the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) continues to enforce its nationwide solidarity rallies and strikes, paralyzing public examination testing portals across the 2026 calendar, pressure has intensified heavily on the DSS to act on Igboho’s statement. Security experts note that if the secret service activates an official invitation, it will force a decisive showdown: either the activist must present verifiable forensic logs to backup his political sabotage theory, or face severe legal accountability for spreading misleading data during a critical national emergency.
