Two other kidnapped victims, who were not students, were also rescued during the operation. Governor Abiodun described the rescue as a significant breakthrough in Ogun State’s ongoing fight against kidnapping and other violent crimes. “One of the victims sustained a gunshot injury during the incident and was immediately evacuated for medical attention. Ogun State will remain hostile to criminality and safe for every law-abiding citizen, resident and investor,” Abiodun stated. The successful rescue adds to recent security gains recorded across the country as security agencies intensify operations against kidnapping, banditry, and other violent crimes.
