Oyo Rescue Shows Tinubu’s Commitment to National Security
Speaking on the development, Sanwo-Olu said the successful operation demonstrates that the Federal Government is making steady progress in its campaign against criminal activities, particularly kidnapping.
Valid9ja gathered that the governor praised President Tinubu for supporting security agencies and encouraging intelligence-driven operations that have led to the rescue of victims without further harm.
He noted that every successful rescue sends a strong message to criminal elements that government authorities will continue to pursue those responsible for acts of violence and insecurity.
Rescue Brings Relief to Families
The rescue of the Oyo schoolchildren and their teachers brought relief to parents, guardians, and communities that had anxiously awaited their safe return.
The victims had spent several weeks in captivity before security operatives secured their freedom. Their release has been widely celebrated by government officials and Nigerians across the country.
Security experts have continued to stress the importance of intelligence gathering, inter-agency cooperation, and community support in tackling kidnapping and other violent crimes.
Growing Support for Security Operations

Sanwo-Olu urged Nigerians to continue supporting law enforcement agencies by providing credible information that could help prevent criminal activities and improve public safety.

Government’s Fight Against Kidnapping
Kidnapping remains one of Nigeria’s major security concerns, particularly in parts of the country where criminal gangs target schools, highways, and rural communities.
The Federal Government has repeatedly pledged to strengthen security operations through improved intelligence, enhanced collaboration among agencies, and better deployment of personnel and technology.
According to the Nigeria Police Force, citizens are encouraged to report suspicious movements and criminal activities promptly to assist security agencies in preventing crimes. More information is available through the official Nigeria Police website: https://npf.gov.ng/
