Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, has officially received a school principal, a NECO official, and two students who were recently rescued from kidnappers.
Security operatives rescued the victims after they were abducted during an attack on an examination centre in Olowa, Dekina Local Government Area.
The rescued group arrived at the Government House in Lokoja, where Governor Ododo and various state security chiefs welcomed them.
Sustained pressure from a joint security operation ultimately forced the kidnappers to abandon the victims and flee the scene.
While praising the security teams and thanking President Bola Tinubu, Governor Ododo vowed that Kogi State will never become a safe haven for criminals.
However, the governor also expressed deep concern over the discovery of an illegal examination ‘miracle’ centre operating despite the state’s free education policy.
