Alli hails Tinubu, Uzodimma, security agencies over rescue of 20 Oyo NYSC members

Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, has commended President Bola Tinubu, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma and security agencies for the rescue of 20 prospective National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members from Oyo State who were kidnapped in Imo State last week.

Alli, in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Director of Media and Publicity of his campaign organisation, Bisi Oladele, described the rescue as a welcome development and a demonstration of the commitment of the Federal Government and security agencies to protecting the lives of Nigerians.

He commended Tinubu and Uzodimma for their leadership, while praising the security agencies for their courage, professionalism and coordinated efforts that led to the successful rescue of the victims, who were travelling to Imo State for the mandatory national service.

The APC candidate urged the security agencies to intensify intelligence gathering and inter-agency collaboration to prevent similar incidents, while calling for the perpetrators to be identified and brought to justice.

He also urged Nigerians to support security agencies by providing useful information, stressing that the safety of citizens remained a collective responsibility.

Alli prayed for the speedy recovery of the rescued prospective corps members and their relatives from the trauma of the abduction.
