Osinbajo first hinted me kidnappers of Igbonla students were in Ondo - Akeredolu
Ondo Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu said he never believed the kidnappers that abducted the six students of Igbonla Model College in Epe, Lagos, could be hibernating in creeks around the state until he was told about a month ago during the National Economic Council (NEC) Meeting in Abuja by Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, and later Lagos Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
He said he immediately deployed his Deputy, Alfred Agboola who is from the riverine areas in Ondo, to take up the matter.
Agboola, according to Akeredolu immediately swung into action and worked with the Delta Deputy Governor, as well as security agencies to ensure safe return of the students.
He particularly acknowledging the role of Ambode since the ordeal started in May.
“I must commend Governor Ambode for his commitment to the rescue of the students. At the meeting of Western Nigeria Governors’ forum held in Abeokuta on Monday, we discussed the issue of the students and Governor Ambode mentioned the issue of joint security patrol in our riverine areas.
“He (Governor Ambode) was very committed to it and he expressed readiness to support with the needed resources. Throughout the days the students were in captivity, the Lagos Governor never kept his eyes off the ball and he kept working on it until today that we have the students back,†Akeredolu said.
