Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s media adviser, Mr Paul Ibe, has called on the Department of State Services and other security agencies to invite Yoruba nation campaigner, Sunday Igboho, to disclose the identities of politicians he alleged are sponsoring kidnappers responsible for the abduction of students and teachers in Oyo State.

Ibe made the call on Thursday in a post on X, arguing that security agencies should take advantage of any credible information capable of aiding efforts to rescue the victims and dismantle criminal networks behind the attacks. His intervention followed recent comments by Igboho during a meeting with members of the National Association of Nigerian Students, where the activist claimed he knew the politicians allegedly backing kidnappers operating in parts of the South-West.

The remarks were made against the backdrop of concerns over the abduction of students and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, a development that has renewed fears about the spread of kidnapping and insecurity into communities traditionally considered safer than some of the country’s conflict-prone regions. Reacting to Igboho’s claims, Ibe said security agencies should immediately engage him if he indeed possesses information that could assist ongoing investigations.
