The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) National Headquarters commends the Ogun State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies for their sustained efforts in combating kidnapping and other forms of criminality across the nooks and crannies of Ogun State.
In a statement issued by the Secretary General of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Oladimeji Uthman CNS, SANS, the association expressed its appreciation for the security agencies’ efforts.
NANS particularly applauds the recent joint operation conducted by the security agencies on the 8th of November 2026, which resulted in the neutralisation of a suspected kidnapper, the arrest of an 18-year old suspect, Abubakar Yinusa, and the recovery of two additional AK-47 rifles. This brings the total number of suspected kidnappers neutralised to two and the number of recovered AK-47 rifles to three.
We also commend the security agencies for the safe rescue of the ten passengers abducted at Orita Fufu, Awa-Ijebu, on the 3rd of November 2026. Their release without any injuries on 7th of November 2026 demonstrates the importance of intelligence sharing, operational coordination and sustained pressure on criminal networks.
NANS National recognises the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Bode Ojajuni psc, and the Director of State Services (DSS) Ogun Command, as well as the dedication of all the officers and personnels who participated in these operations.
The safety and security of our students, commuters and Ogun residents remain a collective responsibility. We therefore urge members of the public to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious persons or anyone with unexplained gunshot wounds to the nearest police station or other security agencies.
NANS calls on all security agencies to sustain the momentum, intensify intelligence-led operations and ensure that all persons connected to these kidnapping incidents are apprehended and brought to justice in accordance with the law.
We commend the Ogun State Government and all other relevant security outfits for their continued support and collaboration in protecting lives and property across the Gateway state.
