LOKOJA — The Kogi State Government says security operatives have rescued four persons kidnapped during a recent attack on an “unauthorised” examination centre in Olowa, Dekina Local Government Area.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
According to Fanwo, the rescue followed a coordinated security operation ordered by Governor Ahmed Ododo immediately after the incident.
“The government remains committed to protecting the lives and property of citizens and will not allow criminal elements to disrupt academic activities in the state,” the statement added.
Security agencies have intensified patrols and surveillance in Dekina LGA and other parts of the state to prevent a recurrence, Fanwo said.
Details of the attack and the condition of the rescued victims were not immediately disclosed.
