Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State praised the Department of State Services (DSS) and police for their role in rescuing a group of kidnapping victims in the state. The operation, carried out in the last week, saw the authorities track and apprehend the perpetrators responsible for the abduction.
In a statement released by the governor’s office, Abiodun singled out the DSS Director‑General for providing “critical intelligence and sophisticated security equipment” that enabled the successful tracking of the kidnappers. He added that the cooperation between the DSS and local police forces was instrumental in bringing the victims back safely.
Abiodun also used the occasion to reaffirm his commitment to law and order in Ogun. “Ogun will not be a safe haven for criminals,” he said, underscoring the state’s determination to curb kidnapping and other violent crimes.
While details of the victims’ identities and the exact location of the abduction remain confidential, the governor’s remarks highlight the importance of inter‑agency collaboration in safeguarding the state’s residents.
