NGA teacher kidnapped from Oriire, Oyo State, has testified that his captors laundered the group’s clothes during their 56-day captivity, countering claims that the ordeal was staged. Zachery Olatunde, one of the freed victims, stated that the abductors washed their clothes when they began to smell, refuting social media criticisms that the survivors appeared too clean or well-dressed. He emphasized that the coordination of clothing, such as matching Ankara outfits, followed a state government directive for school uniforms, not intentional staging. Olatunde also dismissed allegations that the kidnapping was fake, citing the deaths of two individuals during the ordeal as proof of its authenticity. His remarks follow widespread online skepticism about the legitimacy of the rescue, which occurred after a security operation.
