Nigerians React As Kidnappers’ Hideout-Busted By Hunters In Kogi, Victims Freed

Local hunters that stormed a kidnappers’ hideout in Yagba West have neutralised and rescued kidnapped victims.

From all indications, the se­curity architecture of the Kogi State Governor, Alh. Ahmed Usman Ododo, has started to deliver the required result with the success recorded by the hunters.

Recall that last week, Gover­nor Ododo distributed security kits to local hunters recruited by his administration, charging them to go after criminals and make Kogi safe.

The trained hunters were able to rescue all the three kid­napped victims at the camp and some of the bandits escaped with gun wounds.

Addressing newsmen at Odo Ere, the headquarters of Yagba West Local Government Area, the state, Commissioner for Information and Commu­nications, Hon. Kingsley Femi Fanwo, said the resolve of the governor to stamp out crimi­nality from Kogi State is total. He thanked the hunters for their gallantry, assuring them of the state government’s support.

The Transition Committee Chairman of Yagba West, Hon. Tosin Olokun, said the hunters were able to achieve the feat with the help of credible intel­ligence.

He thanked the governor for empowering and emboldening hunters across the state to com­bat crime, assuring the people of Yagba West of adequate se­curity at all times.

The rescued victims also narrated their ordeals in the hands of the kidnappers, thank­ing the Local Government Chairman and the Governor for prioritising security.
