Urges Govt., CP to Unmask and Nab
Godfather, Arrest Fleeing Culprits, Accomplices
The people of Shao in Moro Local Government
Area of Kwara State have commended the Kwara State Government, the Nigeria
Police Force, the Directorate of State Security Services, the indigenous
hunters and the vigilantes for their swift action in tackling the recent kidnap
incident in the community.
It could be recalled that a gang of
kidnappers stormed the residence of Hon. Soliu Ayansola Lawal and abducted his
wife and his son after the former had earlier escaped in the early hours
of Tuesday in the community.
A statement by the President, Shao
Community Development Association, Elder Emmanuel Ayantunde Adebara, said that
the quick rescue of the victims and the busting of the abductors showed the
genuine cause of the government and the security personnels to tackle abduction
incidence and other crime perpetrations in the state, which, he said, the
people of Shao appreciate.
The President then appealed to Governor
AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq and State Commissioner of Police to use the
security facilities in the state to arrest the other fleeing members of
the gang, and unmask their godfather and accomplices.
Adebara disclosed that the people of Shao
want the authority concerned to nab any personality whose connection with the
incident is revealed in the course of investigation, adding that the people of
Shao are loving, well-cultured and peaceful, and that they will never condone
any act of criminality.
He urged the Governor and the
Commissioner of Police to let the law take its due course on any person
identified with the abduction incident for justice to prevail, stating that
such step will avert subsequent perpetration and curb the nefarious practices
being carried out by these miscreants.
The President also called the attention of
the State Government to the need to deploy the security personnel in the State
to hold a "clean-up" exercise on the kidnappers' den along Oko
Olowo/Shao/Jebba Expressway to ensure that the place and people therein are
safe and that there will be no record of kidnap along the axis again.
