Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has hailed security agencies for their swift intervention that secured the release of 20 corps members kidnapped along the Onitsha-Owerri Road.
In a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, the governor applauded the agencies for their collaboration and patriotism.
He stated that their coordinated efforts ensured the safe release of the victims.
Recall that the 20 prospective corps members and one other person abducted along the Onitsha-Owerri Road in Imo State regained their freedom on Wednesday.
The governor similarly commended the Imo and Oyo State Governments for working together to secure the release of the corps members.
According to him, given that the incident involved the safety of human lives, the authorities deliberately limited information in the public domain while efforts were underway to free the victims.
The governor also praised the parents of the abducted corps members for their patience during the ordeal.
He urged Nigerians to continue to have faith in the Federal Government as it works to address the country’s security challenges.
