FOR Mr. Michael Oyedokun, the Mathematics Teacher at Community High School, Ahoro-Esiele, Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria, who was abducted with 45 others on Friday, May 15, 2026, and was beheaded on Sunday, May 17, 2026 by terrorists.

When teachers are no longer safe, civilization itself is under warning.

May his soul rest in peace.

May God comfort his family, colleagues, students, and community. May Nigeria find the courage to become a functional and secure state.
