Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, CON, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the successful rescue of the victims abducted in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, describing the operation as a testament to the President’s unwavering resolve to rid the country of criminal elements.
Governor Abiodun said the successful rescue of the victims validates President Tinubu’s assurance that every effort would be made to secure their freedom and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The governor noted that the arrest of some of the kidnappers and the neutralisation of others during the rescue operation sends a strong and unmistakable message that Nigeria is becoming increasingly hostile to kidnappers, bandits, terrorists and other violent criminals.
“This operation has demonstrated that under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, there will be no safe haven for criminal elements. It is a clear signal that those who choose the path of kidnapping, banditry and other violent crimes will be relentlessly pursued, apprehended or neutralised in accordance with the law,” he said.
Governor Abiodun commended the gallantry, professionalism and exceptional courage of the security agencies whose coordinated efforts made the successful operation possible. He praised the Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), local intelligence operatives and all other security personnel involved for their sacrifice and commitment to protecting innocent Nigerians.
