The South-West Coordinating Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, has assured Nigerians that ongoing efforts by security agencies and government authorities will soon secure the release of abducted schoolchildren and their teachers in Oyo State.
Fayoade gave the assurance on Monday during an official working visit to the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja, where he also outlined plans to strengthen police operations through improved manpower, enhanced welfare packages, technology-driven policing and intelligence gathering.
Speaking on the abduction, the DIG said security agencies remained focused on rescuing the victims rather than discussing ransom demands.
“The update is that all agencies, including government, are working very hard. I can assure you that within the shortest possible time, the children and their teachers will be free,” he said.
