In a commendable display of leadership, Governor Biodun Oyebanji's relentless efforts resulted in the safe release of the kidnapped pupils and teachers from Apostolic Faith Nursery and Primary School, Emure-Ekiti. The children, who were brought to the Elemure palace around 4 am on Sunday, February 4th, were unharmed, marking a significant achievement in the Governor's commitment to security.
Governor Oyebanji took bold steps to ensure the swift return of the students, earning commendations for his proactive approach. The Governor expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for specific directives that expedited the search and rescue mission. He also acknowledged the collaborative efforts of security agencies and appreciated the support from Ekitikete at home and abroad during the challenging security situation.
In a heartfelt address, Governor Oyebanji congratulated the children and their families and directed the Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Oyebanji Filani, to facilitate the children's medical treatment and post-trauma therapy at the state Teaching Hospital, Ado Ekiti.
This success follows Governor Oyebanji's recent engagements with top military officials, seeking additional personnel deployment and the establishment of a Forward Operating Base to eradicate criminal hideouts. The Governor's dedication to security is evident in various initiatives, including the renovation of the Ekiti State fire service HQ, acquisition and distribution of security equipment, and increased security votes for local government council chairmen.
Despite the security challenges faced by the nation, Ekiti State remains among the top five peaceful states, with Governor Oyebanji's strategic measures contributing to the state's safety. As the Governor continues to advocate for enhanced security architecture, Ekiti residents can trust in his commitment to ensuring their safety and well-being.
