The rescue of abducted students and teachers in Orire, Oyo State, has triggered fresh reactions online. One Nigerian man described the development as a dramatic fulfilment of an earlier statement by Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
ORIRE, OYO STATE — A Nigerian man has reacted to the rescue of abducted students and teachers in Orire, Oyo State, describing the development as a “dramatic” fulfilment of an earlier prophecy by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG. The reaction followed reports confirming that the victims had regained their freedom.
According to posts circulating on social media, the man said Pastor Adeboye had earlier declared that the rescue of the students and teachers would happen in a dramatic manner. He argued that the outcome matched the cleric’s statement and praised him as “God’s anointed.” Extra News Nigeria has not independently verified when or where Pastor Adeboye made the reported remark.
In his reaction, the man also criticised Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, claiming the governor was attending political engagements outside the state while security operatives worked to rescue the victims. He wrote, “Pastor Adeboye said the rescue of Orire students and teachers would be dramatic and it was, actually. There are men, but there are Men of God. Baba is God’s anointed.” He further alleged that Governor Makinde was in Bauchi State during the rescue operation. The governor has not publicly responded to the claim at the time of this report.
Security authorities earlier confirmed the successful rescue of the abducted students and teachers after an operation involving security agencies. The incident had drawn widespread concern from residents, parents and community leaders, with many calling for the victims’ safe return. Officials have continued investigations into the circumstances surrounding the abduction.
The development means public attention is likely to remain on both the rescue operation and the reactions it has generated online. While many social media users have linked the rescue to Pastor Adeboye’s reported statement, claims about prophecies and political conduct remain matters of public opinion unless supported by official evidence or verified records. Extra News Nigeria will continue to monitor the story as more information becomes available.
