Renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has commended Nigeria's security forces for the successful rescue of 42 schoolchildren and six teachers abducted from three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
He described the operation as a demonstration of the country's capacity to tackle kidnapping and terrorism.
Falana, who spoke in a statement issued on Sunday in his capacity as Chairman of the Alliance on Surviving COVID-19 and Beyond (ASCAB), congratulated the rescued victims and their families while mourning those who lost their lives during the ordeal.
The senior lawyer particularly expressed sympathy to the family of Michael Oyedokun, one of the abducted teachers who was allegedly beheaded by his captors, urging security agencies to recover his remains from the arrested suspects to enable the family give him a befitting burial.
