Insecurity Plagues Oyo Public Schools as Vandalism, Threats to Teachers Rise

Oyo State’s public schools are facing a growing security crisis as cases of vandalism, theft, and threats to teachers continue to rise. Investigations reveal that the absence of adequate security personnel, especially night guards, has left many schools vulnerable to criminal activities.

Reports from various school administrators indicate that criminals frequently break into school premises, stealing vital infrastructure such as electrical fittings, desks, and even roofing sheets. Teachers and students have also raised concerns about personal safety, particularly in schools located in remote areas or communities with high crime rates.
