A witness for the Department of State Services (DSS) testified in the Federal High Court in Abuja about the 56-day ordeal of 49 victims, including students and teachers, who were abducted from a school in Oyo. The testimony, delivered before a judge, provided a harrowing account of the group’s captivity, during which they were held in an unknown location. The witness described the conditions of confinement, the psychological pressure exerted by the captors, and the emotional toll on the victims.
The case has drawn significant attention due to the prolonged nature of the abduction and the involvement of multiple authorities. The DSS, which is responsible for counter-terrorism and security, has been called upon to provide further details on its investigation. Meanwhile, the victims’ families have expressed frustration over the lack of progress in the case.
The court session marked a key moment in the legal proceedings, as it allowed the victims to share their experiences in a formal setting. The testimony is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the judicial response to the incident. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to ensuring justice for the victims and preventing such incidents in the future.
The case remains under active investigation, with ongoing efforts to locate the remaining missing individuals and bring those responsible to justice.
