BREAKING 🇳🇬🌲🔥: The rescue operation in the Oyo forest has reached a critical stage as troops have surrounded the area where abducted schoolchildren and teachers are being held, blocked all escape routes, and restricted movement inside the hideout. Reports confirm that the kidnappers have dropped earlier demands involving the release of detained commanders and are now focusing mainly on ransom talks, which are not expected to be accepted. The pressure from security forces is increasing as the operation continues, though it has also recorded casualties, including a lieutenant, while efforts continue to secure the safe release of the victims.
