The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, on Sunday commended President Bola Tinubu and the nation’s security chiefs over the rescue of teachers and pupils abducted from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, describing the operation as a breakthrough in the fight against insecurity.The Labour Party lawmaker, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja, said the successful rescue had restored public confidence in Nigeria’s security architecture and demonstrated the resolve of security agencies to confront terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal groups.He congratulated Tinubu, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, service chiefs, Police, Department of State Services and other security agencies for what he described as an outstanding display of professionalism, intelligence and inter-agency collaboration.Agbese said the operation underscored the growing effectiveness of the Federal Government’s security strategy and the determination of the armed forces to pursue criminal elements across the country.He said, “The rescue of every pupil and teacher abducted in Oriire is far more than the successful conclusion of a security operation. It is a powerful statement that Nigeria is rising above those who seek to define us by violence and fear.“President Bola Tinubu, our security chiefs and the gallant men and women of our armed forces have restored our glory before the world by proving that no Nigerian life is expendable and that our nation has both the capacity and the resolve to confront criminality head-on.”The lawmaker said the rescue came on the heels of a series of successful military operations across different theatres, which, according to him, showed that the country’s security forces had continued to gain the upper hand against terrorists and bandits.“Only recently, troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA foiled coordinated terrorist attacks in Zamfara and Katsina States, neutralised the notorious terrorist commander, recovered assault rifles, ammunition and operational equipment, and, through coordinated air operations, intercepted and successfully engaged about 300 terrorists advancing on motorcycles before they could unleash mayhem on innocent communities.“These are not isolated victories; they are clear evidence of a military that has seized the initiative and is relentlessly taking the battle to the enemies of our country,” he declared.Agbese noted that recent military operations had also led to the rescue of kidnapped victims, the destruction of terrorist camps, the elimination of high-profile commanders and the recovery of weapons used by criminal groups.According to him, the consistency of such operations should reassure Nigerians of the security institutions’ ability and commitment to protecting lives and restoring peace across the country.Related NewsPlateau senator backs Tinubu for second term, praises ‘bold’ reformsState police will bring lasting peace to North, says BarauSoldiers intercept illicit drugs on Lagos-Calabar road, arrest driverThe lawmaker urged Nigerians to continue supporting the military and other security agencies by providing credible and timely intelligence capable of preventing attacks and aiding ongoing operations.He also appealed to communities to remain vigilant and strengthen cooperation with security agencies to sustain recent gains.“To every insurgent, bandit and terrorist still hiding in forests and remote enclaves across our country, my message is simple: surrender now before it is too late. The operational momentum is no longer in your favour.“Every successful rescue, every terrorist commander neutralised, and every criminal network dismantled brings Nigeria closer to lasting peace. Those who refuse to surrender should be prepared to face the overwhelming might of our gallant troops,” he announced.Agbese expressed confidence that sustained political support for the armed forces and continued collaboration among security agencies would further strengthen the fight against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping while restoring lasting peace across the federation.His commendation came barely 24 hours after Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, announced the successful rescue of the pupils and teachers, who had spent 56 days in captivity.The governor, who visited the victims at the Headquarters of the 2 Division Nigerian Army Medical Services, Odogbo Barracks, Ibadan, said they would remain under medical observation for 48 hours.Makinde also condoled with families of those who lost their lives during the abduction, including Michael Oyedokun, and assured them that their sacrifices would not be in vain.He disclosed that arrangements had been made for family members to reunite with the rescued victims, noting that one of the children had repeatedly asked to see her mother since regaining freedom.The governor added that he would brief the people of Oyo State and Nigerians this week on the circumstances surrounding the abduction and the efforts that culminated in the successful rescue of the victims.
