BON COMMENDS PRESIDENT TINUBU, AND NIGERIAN SECURITY AGENCIES ON THE SUCCESSFUL RESCUE OF KIDNAPPED PUPILS AND TEACHER IN OYO STATE

The Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) welcomes with great excitement the news of the successful rescue of school children and a teacher who were kidnapped in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The entire security apparatus of the country deserves commendation for demonstrating a high level of operational competence during this rescue mission. We salute the bravery and professionalism of our nation’s gallant officers.

BON congratulates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his exemplary political will, and commends Governor Seyi Makinde and the people of Oyo State for their diligent cooperation with security agencies, which was instrumental to the success of the operation.

We call on the leadership of the Nigerian Military, Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services (DSS), and other security agencies to sustain the strong inter-agency collaboration that yielded this positive outcome.

BON believes that with sustained political will and adequate support for our military and security agencies, the scourge of kidnapping and banditry in Nigeria will be reduced to the barest minimum in due course.

It is our desire that the other children still languishing in kidnappers’ dens across Borno and other northern states will soon be freed and safely reunited with their families and communities.
Dr.Yemisi Bamgbose
Executive Secretary.
