A former Bayelsa Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, has commended President Bola Tinubu and the nation’s security agencies following the successful rescue of pupils and teachers abducted in Oyo State.

The media mogul described the operation as a demonstration of effective leadership, intelligence and professionalism.

Reacting in a post on his verified X handle on Friday, Murray-Bruce said the safe return of the victims underscored what could be achieved through coordinated security efforts.

“The successful rescue of the abducted pupils and teachers in Oyo State is a remarkable achievement and a testament to what can be accomplished when leadership, intelligence, and professionalism come together,” he wrote.
