The captives returned home after spending 57 days in custody, a development the governor described as a significant emotional lift for their families and the entire state.
During a brief discussion on Channels Television, Makinde extended his gratitude to President Bola Tinubu and the nation’s security apparatus for their roles in the rescue mission. He specifically commended the Nigerian Police Force, the Department of State Services, and the military for their persistence in ensuring the victims’ safety. The governor expressed immense joy at the outcome and promised to provide a more detailed statement once he had fully processed the event.
