Peter Obi Applauds Nigeria Police for Successful Rescue Operation of Mrs. Folashade Odumusu
Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, has commended the Nigeria Police for their swift and effective rescue operation of Mrs. Folashade Odumusu, the wife of retired AIG Hakeem Odumusu, who was kidnapped recently.
Obi praised the operation for its precision, which led to the safe release of Mrs Odumusu and the neutralization of some kidnappers, as well as the recovery of weapons and ransom.
The Ogun State Police Command, with support from the Force Headquarters and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, was recognized for its professional handling of the case. The IGP, who showed great interest in the case, applauded the Ogun Command for dismantling the criminal network responsible for the abduction.
Obi emphasized that with the right leadership, motivation, and support from security agencies, crime can be tackled effectively.
He called on the Nigeria Police to apply the same level of urgency and professionalism to cases involving everyday Nigerians, many of whom remain victims of abduction without proper rescue efforts.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
