Former Big Brother Naija housemate and actress Alex Unusual has sparked debate after reacting to the viral video of the recently released schoolchildren and teachers who regained their freedom after spending weeks in captivity in Oyo State. The reality TV star took to social media to question certain details surrounding the footage, saying some aspects of the video left her confused.
Alex Questions Focus on President Tinubu
Rather than celebrating only the victims' return, Alex focused on the circumstances surrounding the first video that surfaced after their release. According to her, she found it unusual that the children and teachers appeared to be thanking President Bola Tinubu almost immediately after regaining their freedom. She questioned why that became the focus of their first public appearance instead of receiving immediate care and attention. "Why is their first care a 'Thank you Mr President' video?" she asked.
Concerns About Location and Rescue Narrative
The former BBNaija star also wondered why the recording appeared to have been made in what looked like a forest environment. To her, the setting raised additional questions about the sequence of events that led to the victims' freedom. She further questioned the official narrative surrounding the operation, asking why no suspected kidnappers were seen if the victims had indeed been rescued. "And why are they still making the video inside the bush? If it was a rescue, where are the faces of the kidnappers?" she wrote.
Background of the Oyo Schoolchildren Rescue
The rescued pupils and teachers from Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State regained their freedom after spending nearly two months in captivity. Their release brought relief to families and many Nigerians who had closely followed the disturbing incident. Videos of the victims shortly after regaining freedom quickly circulated online, drawing emotional responses from many social media users.
Social Media Reactions to Alex's Post
Legit.ng compiled the comments of social media users below. @OmogbolahanGanj stated: "Funny how some of you suddenly lose interest once there's good news. When they were kidnapped, you were professional online sympathizers. Now they're rescued, you've quickly switched to your next agenda. At least pretend to be happy they're back. Drop the performance." @FearGunn wrote: "The best way to find answers: Put the name of the forest on googlemap, take a ride to the place, take the pictures of the kidnappers and then post it so others like you can see their faces. As a truly concerned Nigerian with compassion, seeing the captives alive is enough. Thanks."
