The two journalists were released along with Mr Alabelewe’s wife and two children.

Mohammed expressed sympathy to the two families.

“We are most grateful of what you have done. We are aware that this is part of your ongoing effort to ensure that all kidnapped victims are rescued alive and reunited with their families.

“I want to urge Nigerians to keep faith with the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our security agencies. The security agencies under the coordination of the NSA are working tirelessly to ensure that all those who have been taken into unlawful custody are freed without paying any ransom,” he said.

Speaking earlier, the NSA said the five victims were rescued following combined effort of security agencies, which led to swift search and rescue operation.

Responding, one of the rescued victims, Mr Alabelewe thanked the NSA and his team for the swift intervention.

“The rescue mission which brought us out of the bush yesterday gave us hope in our country and gave us confidence to believe that the government is serious about tackling this problem of kidnapping. I never thought that within a week of our kidnap, we could get out.

“We are grateful that the government swung into action and ensured that we were released,” the journalist stated.
