Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has described the rescue of abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State as evidence of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to tackling insecurity and protecting the lives of Nigerians.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, Sanwo-Olu commended President Tinubu and security agencies for the successful operation, which secured the victims’ release after more than 55 days in captivity following their abduction on May 15, 2026.
The governor specifically praised the collaborative efforts of the Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies involved in the rescue mission.
