- Victims rescued from kidnappers in Ogun State have appealed to the Federal Government to provide better support and equipment for the police.
IKEJA, LAGOS — Victims rescued during Operation Kosaye in Ogun State have called on the Federal Government to improve the welfare of police officers and provide better equipment for security operations. The victims made the appeal after regaining their freedom following a rescue operation carried out by security operatives.
According to the victims, the police demonstrated courage and professionalism during the operation that secured their release from captivity. They said better equipment and improved welfare packages would help security personnel respond more effectively to kidnapping and other security threats.
The rescued victims also expressed gratitude to the officers involved in the operation and urged authorities to invest more in security agencies. They noted that the challenges facing security personnel could affect efforts to tackle criminal activities across the country.
Operation Kosaye recently led to the rescue of kidnapped victims and the arrest of several suspects during coordinated raids on criminal hideouts in forests across Lagos and Ogun states. The operation formed part of ongoing efforts by security agencies to combat kidnapping and restore public confidence in security institutions.
Kidnapping remains a major concern in several parts of Nigeria, with residents and stakeholders frequently calling for improved funding, training and logistics for security agencies. Experts have repeatedly argued that modern equipment and better welfare packages are essential to strengthening the country’s security architecture.
The development means renewed attention may focus on the condition of security agencies and the need for increased investment in policing as authorities continue efforts to address kidnapping and other violent crimes across Nigeria.
