Oyo Speaker Vows Not to Negotiate with Terrorists over Abducted Students

Debo Ogundoyin, Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, has declared that the state government will not negotiate with the terrorists responsible for the May 15 abduction of 45 students and seven teachers in Orire Local Government Area. The victims were seized from the Esienle and Yawota communities. Ogundoyin revealed that the abductors presented specific conditions for the release of the captives, though he did not disclose the exact demands. He warned that any concession would only embolden these criminals. He assured the public that all necessary resources are being deployed to secure the safe rescue and return of the pupils and teachers. Do you think the government should ever negotiate with terrorists demanding weapons, money or political concessions?
