Oyo Rescue: “On Your Mandate” Goes Live! Rufai & Ojy Sing As Abati Cautions by Giftimoni(op): 1:29pm On Jul 31

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has described the rescue of abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State as a major turning point in Nigeria’s fight against kidnapping.

Ladoja made the remarks when traditional rulers from Oyo State visited President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The victims, who were abducted in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, reportedly spent about 56 days in captivity before their eventual rescue.

The Olubadan commended President Tinubu and the nation’s security agencies for their efforts in securing the release of the victims, particularly amid reports that the government did not pay ransom to the kidnappers.

According to reports, the President said his administration rejected the kidnappers’ ransom demands and instead relied on intelligence-led security operations to secure the victims’ freedom.

The operation reportedly resulted in the arrest of eight suspects, while several others were killed.

Ladoja said the development demonstrated that kidnapping could be confronted through decisive security action rather than allowing criminal groups to dictate terms through ransom demands.

He, however, urged the Federal Government not to relax its security operations in the forests where the kidnappers had operated.

The monarch warned that withdrawing security personnel too soon could create an opportunity for criminal elements to regroup and return to the area.

He called for sustained surveillance and security presence, particularly across the forest corridor connecting Oyo and neighbouring states.

The development comes amid persistent concerns over kidnapping and other forms of insecurity across Nigeria, with criminal groups frequently exploiting forests and remote communities as hideouts.

While the successful rescue has been welcomed as a significant victory, questions remain over whether the strategy can be replicated and sustained in other parts of the country.

For many Nigerians, the broader test will be whether security agencies can use the momentum from the Oyo operation to dismantle kidnapping networks, prevent further abductions and restore confidence among communities and families.

The Olubadan's remarks therefore place renewed attention on the need for the Federal Government to consolidate the gains made in Oyo State and ensure that the areas affected by kidnapping do not become safe havens for criminal groups again.

Whether the Oyo rescue ultimately becomes the turning point described by the monarch may depend on the government's ability to maintain pressure on the perpetrators and translate the operation into a sustained reduction in kidnapping across the country.

How come the kidnapped victims side of the story is completely different? as according to them, the kidnappers were the ones that set them free and probably because the have been settled. Everything in this administration is lies.
It is like this in his first tenure, I wonder what he will be in his second tenure if he wins.
