According to an interview aired on TVC News on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, Security Consultant and Public Affairs Analyst Darlington Umoru said kidnappers holding abducted schoolchildren in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State threatened to kill the hostages if security forces continued advancing toward their hideout.

Speaking on the challenges of the rescue operation, Umoru explained that such threats illustrate the complexity of hostage rescue missions, where security agencies must balance the need to apprehend criminals with the responsibility of protecting innocent lives.

“You recall that at a point in time, the kidnappers warned the military that if you get closer again. That was when they first sensed that they will kill everybody who needed to be killed to discourage you,” Umoru said.
