“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 a combined effort of security agencies, which led to a swift search and rescue operation.

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

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

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