The Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, yesterday disclosed that the six students of the
Lagos State Model School, Igbonla, Epe, who were abducted 55 days ago, are in
good condition.
Owoseni, who made this disclosure
yesterday while briefing journalists the police, headquarters on the latest
information on the school children.
Owoseni, who hastily added that he
wasn’t speaking because he had visited the children or seen them, stated that
he was acting based on intelligence report.
Owoseni said: “We are doing
everything possible to rescue the students from their abductors and reunite
them with their parents. We’re also a parent and know what parents of the
abducted students are going through. We’re not leaving any stone unturned to
make sure that the students are rescued alive and reunited with their parents. We
would continue to intensify efforts in order to rescue the children and bring
the suspects to book.”
The school children, 55 days ago, were
abducted by militant kidnappers, led by General America. This same General
America was behind abduction of students and staff of the Nigerian Turkish
College, Isheri.
Security experts and Nigerians are
beginning to be frantic following America’s refusal to release the children
even after allegedly collecting over N31million ransom.
It will be recalled that when he
abducted the students and workers of the Nigerian Turkish College, he had
released immediately he was paid the ransom.
The parents of the six students, on
Monday, told our correspondent it was painful to have been apart from their
children for almost two months now.
Last week, Owoseni, had pleaded with
the kidnappers to release the children.
