Tiwa Savage Expresses Concern Over Ogbomoso School Abduction, Says Incident Deserves More Attention

Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has reacted to the reported abduction of school children and teachers in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, expressing concern over what she described as the limited public attention the incident has received.

In a video shared on social media, the award-winning singer revealed that she only became aware of the incident after seeing a post by fellow musician Spyro discussing insecurity in the country.

According to Tiwa Savage, she was surprised to learn that the incident had occurred nearly two weeks earlier and had not generated the level of national conversation she expected.

“This kidnapping incident that happened in Oyo State, I’m just seeing it lately after Spyro’s post came up. The issue is not trending enough as it should,” the singer said in the video.

The singer explained that after coming across the post, she reached out to individuals familiar with the situation to better understand the circumstances surrounding the reported abduction. She also noted that content creator KieKie had indicated the incident occurred almost two weeks earlier.

Tiwa Savage's comments have since sparked conversations online, with many social media users echoing her concerns about insecurity and the need for greater public awareness regarding incidents affecting schoolchildren and communities across the country. Others questioned why the issue had not received wider attention in mainstream and social media discussions.

The reaction comes amid growing concerns over security challenges in parts of Nigeria, with citizens and public figures increasingly calling for stronger measures to protect lives and property.

Observers say the singer's comments have once again highlighted the role celebrities can play in drawing attention to critical social and humanitarian issues, particularly those involving the safety of children and vulnerable groups.

As discussions continue online, many Nigerians have renewed calls for swift action by relevant authorities to address insecurity and ensure the safety of students, teachers, and communities across the country.
