The Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has confirmed that some of the terrorists who kidnapped pupils and teachers in Oyo State were killed, with at least eight of them also arrested during the successful rescue operation.
Penpushing reports that Tinubu made this known on Friday in a statement issued by his spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, and commended the heroic efforts of the security agencies for freeing the captives.
“I am profoundly happy that our security forces successfully rescued the abducted pupils and teachers from Orire, Ogbomoso in Oyo State today after a military, police and intelligence-driven operation that neutralised some of the terrorists that perpetrated the evil act and the arrest of eight of them. On behalf of the country, I express my gratitude to the officers and men of our armed forces, the intelligence agencies, and the police’, he said
Penpushing further reports that Tinubu while celebrating the safe return of the hostages, acknowledged the deep anguish experienced by the victims, their families, and the nation, however, vowed that his administration would bring the perpetrators to full justice.
“My government will get justice for these children and their teachers and for the family of Mr Oyedokun, who the terrorists gruesomely murdered. I must commend the government of Oyo State for working cooperatively with us in bringing this unfortunate incident to a successful end,” he said.
Penpushing also reports that Tinubu has directed that the emergency agencies work with the Oyo State Government to provide all necessary medical and relief support to the children and the teachers.
