Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commended the successful rescue of schoolchildren and teachers abducted by suspected bandits in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, describing the operation as a significant victory in the fight against insecurity.
In a statement issued on Friday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, the governor expressed relief over the release of the victims after more than 55 days in captivity.
Sanwo-Olu said the successful rescue demonstrates President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to tackling insecurity and safeguarding the lives of Nigerians.
He commended the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Air Force, the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies for their coordinated efforts, which led to the safe rescue of the abducted pupils and teachers.
The governor also extended his solidarity to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, the people of Ogbomoso and the families of the victims, noting that the successful operation had restored hope across the Southwest and the country.
“The rescue is a big relief and shows the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to the war against insecurity. I commend the tireless efforts and resilience of our gallant security operatives who made this possible. I equally rejoice with the people of Oyo State, particularly the residents of Ogbomoso, on this great news,” Sanwo-Olu said.Copyright TRUSTAFRICA NEWS.
