The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has commended the Ogun State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies for their recent operations against kidnapping in the state.
The student body particularly praised a joint operation conducted on November 8, 2026, which reportedly led to the neutralisation of a suspected kidnapper, the arrest of an 18-year-old suspect, Abubakar Yinusa, and the recovery of two AK-47 rifles.
In a statement issued by its Secretary-General, Comrade Oladimeji Uthman, NANS said the latest operation brought the number of suspected kidnappers neutralised to two and the total number of recovered AK-47 rifles to three.
The association also applauded the security agencies for securing the release of 10 passengers abducted at Orita Fufu, Awa-Ijebu, on November 3. The victims were reportedly rescued on November 7 without injuries.
NANS said their safe return demonstrated the importance of intelligence sharing and cooperation among security agencies in tackling criminal activities.
The association recognised the efforts of the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, the Director of State Services in the state and officers who took part in the operations.
It stressed that the security of students, commuters and other residents remained a shared responsibility, urging members of the public to remain alert and report suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
The student body also called on security agencies to sustain the operations, strengthen intelligence gathering and ensure that everyone connected to the kidnapping incidents is arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
NANS further acknowledged the support of the Ogun State Government and other security outfits in efforts to protect lives and property across the state.
