Recent social media activity has seen the dissemination of images depicting children with visible injuries, which users have incorrectly associated with the alleged abduction of pupils during a May 2026 attack on schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State. Fact-checking efforts have revealed that these images are not related to the Oyo incident, as they originate from an older event in Niger. The misinformation surrounding these images has raised concerns about the potential for public panic and the spread of false narratives regarding the safety of children in the region.
