STATE HOUSE PRESS STATEMENT

PRESIDENT TINUBU EXPRESSES JOY OVER THE RESCUE OF ORIIRE ABDUCTED CHILDREN AND TEACHERS, COMMENDS SECURITY AGENCIES

President Bola Tinubu has expressed profound joy at the successful rescue of the children and teachers from Oriire community in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, by the security forces.

President Tinubu praised the heroic efforts of the security agencies, especially the military, the DSS and the police, for working round the clock in the last 56 days to secure the release of the abducted children and their teachers without any collateral damage and for arresting eight of the abductors and neutralising others.

President Tinubu regretted the anguish that the children and their teachers, as well as members of their families and the entire nation, have experienced since the sad occurrence.

For cooperating with the Federal Government in all rescue efforts, President Tinubu commended the Oyo State Government and charged it to ensure adequate security around schools across the state.

"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.

"This successful military operation has ended the siege and standoff of over 50 days and has brought relief to the entire nation and the affected families in particular. On behalf of the country, I express my gratitude to the officers and men of our armed forces, the intelligence agencies and the police for the safe rescue of the children and their teachers.

"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," the President said.

President Tinubu has also 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.[/b]

Resign now Tinubu. You're a massive failure

He should be tendering his resignation after failing so woefully, spectacularly, and miserably.

The joy he's expressing would be more appropriate in retirement, whether at Iragbiji or Bourdillon road, not in public office

While I express utmost joy for the safe return of the students and their teachers. However, there are questions that need to be answered, were they truly rescued or as usual bargain and negotiation was what transpired the release of the abductees? Because no single evidence to show that it was a rescue operation that led to the recovery of these children and their teachers. I mean, real and substantial evidence will provoke more public confidence and trust in the government and security agencies.

This is a good news. I hope they're able to come out from the trauma. The children also deserves special treatment and also grant them scholarships.

The terrorists must be brought to justice for their crime against humanity.

Am sure it pained you to the bone marrow. I've never seen this type of hatred coming from the Obidients before.

You all have closed every opportunity available to your candidate in this Nigeria.

Which Eye joy?
After a while 59 days in captivity and all he can express is joy not empathy? What happens to the abductors?

Doubting Thomas! The report says 8 kidnappers were arrested and others neutralised. Obviously, the military were on ground for the rescue mission.
