The Nigerian Police have unveiled untold details of how the kidnapped medical students were rescued
New details on how the 20 Nigerian medical students were rescued and how the kidnap kingpin who masterminded the kidnap have been disclosed by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
Egbuntokun who spoke while handing over the rescued medical students to their vice-chancellors on Sunday said that no ransom was paid and that the feat was accomplished by the police with the assistance of other Nigerian security agencies including the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA.
Egbetokun said, “This success was made possible through the support received from the office of the NSA, the activation of the security network, intelligence, synergy with other security agencies, community engagement, and deployment of our highly skilled and tactical officers whose dedication, bravery, and precision in executing their duties are truly commendable.
“During the operation, our officers engaged the kidnappers in a well-coordinated tactical offensive. I am pleased to inform you that the kingpin of this notorious gang was neutralised during an exchange of fire with our operatives while two other members of the gang were arrested and their weapons recovered.
“These individuals are currently in our custody where they are providing valuable information that will help us dismantle their criminal network and prevent future occurrences of such abductions,” he added.
