The family of Michael Oyedokun, one of two teachers killed during the Oyo abduction, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu and Governor Seyi Makinde to direct security agencies to recover his remains for a befitting burial.
In an open letter, the family thanked the President and security agencies for rescuing the abducted pupils and teachers but said their grief remained unresolved because Oyedokun’s body had yet to be recovered. The family said the absence of his remains “has prolonged our grief and denied our family the closure that every human being deserves.”
Rescued principal Rachael Alamu had disclosed that Oyedokun was beheaded by kidnappers on the second day of captivity, while another teacher, Esiyan Adegboye, was shot dead. Adegboye’s body was recovered and buried on May 22.
Key Points:
Families of slain victims endure prolonged grief without closure from missing remains.
The government faces a moral obligation to recover bodies of citizens killed in captivity.
Incomplete recovery operations undermine the sense of justice for victims’ families.
The family’s plea highlights gaps in post-rescue protocols and victim support.
Timing of the appeal, days after rescue, underscores urgent humanitarian need.
The federal and state governments’ response to the family’s plea will determine whether search efforts are intensified to recover Oyedokun’s remains.
