The African Youth Protection and Advocacy Network (WAYPAN) is deeply saddened and outraged by the recent kidnapping of school children and teachers in the Oriire area of Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria.

WAYPAN strongly condemns this cowardly and reprehensible attack on innocent Nigerians, particularly school children whose only aspiration is to learn and build a better future. This heinous act represents a direct assault on the rights of young Nigerians to live in peace and access education in a safe and secure environment.

WAYPAN Secretariat is hosted at Building Blocks for Peace Foundation.
