The governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has praised the security forces for their quick response in rescuing 20 corps members abducted on the Onitsha-Owerri Road.
Applauding the agencies for their cooperation and patriotism, the governor personally signed a statement on Wednesday.
He said that the victims were freed safely because of their combined efforts.
It was on Wednesday that the twenty-one individuals, including one other, who had been kidnaped along the Onitsha-Owerri Road in Imo State were released.
Similarly, the governor lauded the state governments of Oyo and Imo for cooperating to have the corps members released.
He claims that the government purposefully restricted information from the public domain while efforts were being made to liberate the victims because the issue involved the safety of human lives.
Additionally, the governor commended the parents of the kidnaped service members for their resilience throughout the crisis.
He emphasised that the Federal Government is actively working to resolve Nigeria’s security issues and asked the people to maintain their faith in it.
