Abiodun particularly applauded the DSS Director-General for providing critical intelligence and sophisticated security equipment that aided the tracking of the kidnappers and facilitated the rescue operation.

He also commended the Inspector-General of Police for his prompt directives and intervention, which galvanised the Ogun State Police Command and other security operatives into action, culminating in the release of the victims unharmed.

The governor, in a statement, declared that his administration would not allow kidnappers and other criminal elements to turn any part of the state into a safe haven, assuring residents that the government was intensifying efforts to ensure that criminals had no place in Ogun.

He also urged residents to support security agencies by providing timely and credible information about suspicious persons, movements and activities in their communities.

Abiodun reiterated his administration’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with security agencies and providing the necessary support to protect lives and property across the state.

He called on residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security operatives, stressing that collective action and prompt information-sharing were essential to preventing crime and maintaining peace in Ogun State.
