 Now, the federal government has confirmed that no ransom was paid to free school children from Harkerikou Village in Cardinal State as promised by President Bola Tunubu. The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated that the students were rescued without any ransom. President Tunubu has pressed gratitude to the National Security Advisor and Service Chiefs for the assistance in securing the student's release. He has also urged secret agencies to intensify efforts to come about kidnapping. President Bola Tunubu is determined to end this circle of payment of ransom to kidnappers. The government believes that this continues to encourage these kidnappers, these criminal elements to perpetrate this act within the Nigerian nation. The security agencies are also up in their game and, you know, evolving new strategies of getting at these criminal elements and ensuring that our children or anybody who is kidnapped for that matter is taken out in safety. Government will not stop at anything to get any kind of information that it requires to solve our problems. Security agencies up and doing Shagumi or any other individual for that matter is not above the law. If you have suggestions that are constructive enough for the security agencies to take, they will take. But if they think that he is also making some statements that appear to be reckless, he will also be reprimanded. There is nobody that is above the law in this regard, and I'm aware, let me put it here, I'm aware that he has been also a guest of the security agencies to answer questions. When you make remarks, especially remarks that bother on our national security, it is incumbent on security agencies to dig further into that and they are doing just that. Now, the Senate, the Committee on Hydrogen are mislawing the Army and other security agencies for our successful operation that led to the rescue of un-doctored pupils of the Lia School of Korea in Shikman-Lokugam area of Kadena State. Now, Chairman of the Committee, Senator Abdelaziz Yaredou, said the rescue mission was swift and appropriately, well-responsive, aligned with military rule of engagement. Those and other tools are a rare operation that stands the military and all the secret agents in the operation are best among equals. Yaredou represent Kadena Central in the 10th Senate Senate, the military, having worked with all the secret agents and look at vigilantes have now nonetheless shown their unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the country.
