The donation formed part of resolutions adopted by the Red Chamber following deliberations on the May 15 attack, which saw armed bandits invade communities in Oriire, killing residents and abducting dozens of pupils, students and teachers from three schools. The victims were rescued after spending 56 days in captivity following a coordinated security operation.
The Senate also commended the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies for the successful rescue operation, while paying tribute to security personnel who lost their lives during the mission.
TVC News reports that the victims were rescued by the Nigerian Armed Forces on Friday, July 10, 2026. While many have since reunited with their families, nine victims remain under medical observation at the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso.
