Nigeria is facing serious security challenges in recent years, with kidnappings, bandit attacks, and terrorist activities affecting many communities across the nation.
One of the latest incidents occurred on May 15 when armed men stormed schools in Ogbomoso, abducting several students and staff members.
The affected schools included Baptist Nursery and Primary School in Yawota and Community Grammar School/LA Primary School in Esiele.
Following the attack, several public figures and celebrities have taken to social media to draw attention to the situation and urge authorities to act quickly to secure the release of those kidnapped.
In a video shared on Instagram, Spyro expressed deep concern over the incident and called on Nigerians, especially influential individuals, to join the campaign for the victims’ rescue.
The singer specifically appealed to Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido, and other prominent personalities, saying that even a simple social media post could help bring more awareness to the crisis.
“This video is to beg all well-meaning Nigerians. Our voices are not loud enough. I saw the video of the teachers yesterday, and my heart broke. I wish there was something I could do. If there is anyone who knows what I can do, personally. Please, I am begging every single Nigerian,” he said.
“They are trying to distract us so that we do not speak with one voice because they know that once we are talking about these things, there is pressure on them.
“I am begging you, Wizkid, a tweet would go a long way. I am begging you, Burna Boy, I am begging you, Davido, I am begging every influential person. It can’t just be business as usual. Lend your voice to this cause.
“Let’s speak up. These children can be killed at any moment from now. I have cried, made calls, and I don’t know what else to do other than to call everybody out to speak now.
“I am begging you, Mr President. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we didn’t bargain for these when the whole of Nigeria voted for you. We are pleading with you, something has to be done.
“Please, everyone, bring out your phone, talk about this. Make a video. If you are going to church tomorrow, please tell your pastors. If you are going to the mosque tomorrow, tell your imams.
“Tell everybody, this is what we should be talking about right now. I am not even saying anything other than begging. Please, please.”
