File: Oriire students and teachers rescued.

A former Assistant Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mohammed Ngoshe, has said the intelligence-led operation that secured the release of abducted pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State cannot be replicated in every kidnapping case because each security operation presents different challenges.

Ngoshe stated this on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief while responding to questions over why similar rescue operations had not been recorded in states such as Borno, Plateau and Benue, where kidnappings and attacks have persisted.

He urged Nigerians to have greater confidence in security agencies, saying many successful operations never become public knowledge.

“Nigerians, please, you should learn to trust your servicemen. These people are working hard and they are achieving successes in their own way,” he said.
