The Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the Oyo State Government to investigate the abduction of students and teachers in Esinele and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area is expected to submit its report today.
The Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Ibadan on Tuesday.
Oyelade said the commission’s report would be formally received by Governor Seyi Makinde at the Executive Council Chamber, Governor’s Office, Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.
He said the event is scheduled to begin at 12 noon and will be attended by top government officials, security chiefs, religious leaders, labour representatives and other stakeholders.

Those expected include the Principal of Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele, Mrs Racheal Alamu; the Headmaster of Baptist Basic School, Yawota, Mr Adejumo Gabriel; and the Headteacher of Local Authority Basic School, Ahoro-Esinele, Mr Oke Jacob Sunday.
Governor Makinde inaugurated the Judicial Commission of Inquiry on July 31, 2026, with a mandate to investigate the circumstances surrounding the abduction and determine the factors that led to the incident.
The commission was constituted following the May 15, 2026 attack on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area — Community Grammar School, Baptist Nursery and Primary School, and Local Authority Primary School.
The attack resulted in the abduction of 39 pupils and seven teachers, including Alamu.
The victims were held by their abductors for 56 days within the Old Oyo National Park before they regained their freedom on July 10, 2026.
The incident also resulted in the deaths of two teachers, Michael Oyedokun and Adesiyan Adegboye.
The commission’s report is expected to provide findings on the circumstances surrounding the attack and abduction, as well as recommendations arising from its investigation.
