The Nigerian Police Force, represented by the Assistant Inspector General of Police, heading Zone 2 (Ogun and Lagos State Commands), is assuring that the kidnapped students will be rescued soon.

Mr. Adamu Ibrahim, made this known on Monday 19th of June, assuring the parents of the kidnapped students of Lagos State Model College, Igbonla-Epe, every measure is being taken to rescue all the students.

Speaking to Government House correspondents following a meeting with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode at Lagos House in Ikeja, he said:

“In fact very soon, you will hear good news on the issue. We are working seriously on it. At this stage, I will not want to disclose too much because these are security issues but all I want to say is that people should give us a chance and very soon, they will hear good news.”

"We're taking all necessary measures."

“Security measures are not discussed publicly but what I will tell you is that we are taking all necessary measures to ensure that Lagos is free of crime and criminals. We will rid all these criminals out of this zone.

“So, I will like to send a word to criminals to leave Zone 2 otherwise we will not relent until the zone is completely rid of all these criminals.

“You are aware Evans has already been arrested and he is the most wanted criminal who is into kidnapping. Others too, if they don’t leave this Zone, they will also be arrested.”

And of course, he had good stuff to say about the Government;

“People are in fact aware of what the Lagos State Government is doing on security and no other State is doing it. So, all efforts are on to ensure that there is total peace in the State. Lagos is doing perfectly well in assisting security agencies to do their work in the State and we must commend their efforts.”
