    This is one of the rare stories that I have read about police operations that gives no room for doubting of the success of the operation. Victims were rescued, and kidnappers neutralized, not just that, weapons were recovered. Unlike other stories that will tell you that victims were rescue but no confrontation with the kidnappers.
    May God keep protecting our men in the uniform. They are actually doing well and I pray that same energy will be deployed to the rescue of the school children. Such that it won’t be that the Adelabu were rescued because they are influential
