Yinka Alaseyori Apologises Over Comments on Oyo School Abduction

Popular gospel singer Yinka Alaseyori has issued an apology after her earlier remarks on the Oyo State school abduction sparked criticism. In a video shared on Instagram, she expressed regret that her comments appeared insensitive to the pain of victims and their families. She clarified that she did not intend to downplay the severity of the kidnapping or dismiss public concerns. “I never meant to make anyone feel unheard,” she said, appealing to parents and well-meaning Nigerians to forgive her. Her apology follows an earlier statement in which she urged citizens to pray for rescue efforts and commended government actions. That video drew debate over whether prayer alone is enough to tackle the country’s security challenges. The abduction of pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government has drawn national outcry, with calls for stronger rescue operations and improved safety measures.
