Governor AbdulRazaq Receives 23 Freed Kidnap Victims in Kwara

AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the governor of Kwara State, greeted 23 kidnappees who had been freed by the Nigerian Army on Tuesday.

Following a well-planned military operation, the victims were let free and given to the governor at the 22 Armoured Brigade Headquarters in the state capital of Ilorin.

Governor AbdulRazaq commended the troops for their valor and dedication, stating that the victory demonstrated the security agencies’ renewed cooperation in the battle against kidnapping and banditry.

The governor remarked, “We thank God that you were all freed following the pressure from the security forces.” “We also thank the Nigerian Army and other security agencies for their collaboration in achieving this success, as well as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support.”

The governor gave the rescued victims assurances about the government’s commitment to their complete recovery. “The release and presentation of 23 victims today makes us glad. The government will support them as they heal. The difficulties we encounter are fleeting. These criminals either leave Kwara or perish here, as stated by the GoC. This is a harmonious condition,” he continued.

In order to maintain calm and enable farmers to safely return to their farms, AbdulRazaq also announced intentions to deploy forest guards once the military completes its cleanup operations.
