Hon Alex Mascot Hails Tinubu, Makinde, Security Chiefs, over rescue of abducted Oyo pupils.

The lawmaker representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency, Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh, has applauded President Bola Tinubu, Minister of Defence Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Christopher Gwabin Musa, Governor Seyi Makinde and Nigeria's security agencies for securing the release of pupils and teachers abducted in Oyo State after more than 50 days in captivity.

Ikwechegh described the successful rescue as a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration, intelligence sharing and a coordinated security response. He commended the Federal Government, the Oyo State Government and security operatives for working together to bring the victims home safely. The operation freed 39 schoolchildren and six teachers, while authorities also announced the arrest of suspected kidnappers.

The federal lawmaker said the development has renewed hope among Nigerians, noting that responsive leadership and decisive action remain critical to addressing the country's security challenges. He also sympathised with the families affected by the tragic loss of a teacher during the ordeal.

“The safe return of these innocent children and their teachers is a victory for the nation. I commend President Bola Tinubu, Minister of Defence Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Christopher Gwabin Musa, Governor Seyi Makinde and our security agencies for listening to the cries of Nigerians and working together to achieve this outcome. This gives our people renewed hope that, through unity and commitment, better days are ahead,” Ikwechegh said.

Misplaced priority
Hailing someone for something that wasn't supposed to happen in the first place...
So are you hailing him that the victims suffered but didn't die??

This is all that keep ringing in my head. I don't know if it's only me. I don't mean to wish they bad, but some things are not just adding up.

BATified2023:

I pray when it's time to stage the next one, your family members will b involved

See them,they will have voice to criticise online whereas they're another Odogwu of asaba offline.

SamuraiXXX:
In a country where things are done right this guy is not supposed to still be in government for physically assaulting a person who went to seek payment for service rendered to him

AbuAeesha:
No everyone is a coward as you thought...
At least you should know that...

Praktikals1000:
Has Peter Obi reacted to the rescue of the kidnap victims or does he only react to negative news?

Kobojunkie:
Will there be an investigation into the supposed killings of the principal? Something tells me there will not.

This is the woman from the 27th of May. See how she did not look emaciated then, after supposedly 13 or 30 days under captivity. Her clothes do not look like anything that has been on a human for the past 1 day, let alone 13, or did she say 30 days in the woods? Her hair does not look disheveled from the rough treatment she wanted us to believe she and the others had been subjected to. 😒😒😒

The video of the rescue shows the woman looking exactly like she did in the previous movie. Not a single sign that she was signed or tortured anywhere on her face; her hair looks like it was recently remade. Her hands, her neck, her face... no sucken surface in sight. And the kids...wow... those kids wearing head coverings, maintained their whites even in the forest? Are we being serious here? All of those kids look healthy ... not a single skin and bones as we would expect. 😒😒😒

Don't get me started on the tales regarding the kidnappers. We are told that 8 people were captured, while several others were neutralized. Yet, to date, not a single image of at least those neutralized has been released. 😒😒😒

Overall, it is a terrible Nollywood movie that your government attempted here. Despicable! 😒😒

➜This wasn't scripted at all and your post is totally off and insults the sensibilities! The hostages (young and middle aged) were taken right right from their communities into the more thickly forested Oyo National Park.
Hostage situations around the world such as this take time to resolve otherwise all the hostages would have been killed. Hostage negotiations are doable but it's NOT an easy thing to do. The Americans and Israelis who have rock-solid advanced weapons and rescue strategies will tell you rescue operations don't come easy. Period.
