Footballer Asisat Oshoala calls for release of a.bducted pupils

Nigerian football star Asisat Oshoala has drawn widespread attention after scoring in a friendly match against Senegal and using the moment to note the a.bduction of the schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.

Following her goal, Oshoala revealed hand bands inscribed with the message: “Bring Back Our Children, Save the Teachers.”  Fans are praising her for using her platform to speak out on a deeply sensitive national issue.

The forward, who has long been one of Nigeria’s most influential sporting figures, made a strong emotional appeal urging authorities and stakeholders to intensify efforts toward the safe return of Oyo a.bducted students and teachers.

Her message comes amid growing concern across Nigeria over recurring k!dnapping cases in every part of the country.

While the friendly match against Senegal was meant to showcase sporting talent and regional rivalry, Asisat ’s post-goal statement shifted attention from football to a pressing humanitarian issue, reinforcing the role of athletes as voices for social change.
