Obi Praises Police Rescue AIG’s Wife

The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has praised the Nigeria Police for their quick and efficient action in rescuing Mrs. Folashade Odumusu, the wife of retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Hakeem Odumusu, who was kidnapped recently.

The rescue, carried out on Thursday was confirmed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Thursday.

Obi, in a statement on Friday via X, commended the Ogun State Police Command for its professionalism and effectiveness in handling the case. He pointed out that the successful operation not only led to the safe return of Mrs. Odumusu but also dismantled a criminal network, neutralized several kidnappers, and resulted in the recovery of weapons and ransom money. Obi acknowledged the technical support from the Force Headquarters and the dedication of the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who showed great attention to the case.

“The Ogun State Police Command’s efforts were commendable, and they received excellent support from the Force Headquarters. The IGP’s interest in the case was invaluable,” Obi said. He also emphasized that with proper leadership and support, such successful operations are possible, highlighting the importance of well-resourced police forces in the fight against crime.

While celebrating the rescue, Obi urged the Nigeria Police to apply the same level of urgency and professionalism in cases involving ordinary Nigerians. He pointed out that many people remain victims of kidnapping, and their cases often do not receive the same attention or urgency. “This success shows that if security agencies are well-supported and committed, crime can be effectively tackled,” Obi concluded.

He expressed hope that this operation would inspire more efficient and focused efforts in tackling the rising issue of kidnapping in the country, making the case for a better-managed security system to protect all Nigerians.
