AIG in charge of Zone 2 Police Headquarters, Mr Kayode Aderanti
Almost two weeks after waiting for the release of eight persons kidnapped at the Nigerian-Turkish International School (NTIC), Isheri, Ogun State, the police today assured victims family that their waiting will not be in vain.
While giving the assurance in Abeokuta, Ogun State, today, the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 2, Mr Kayode Aderanti, said that the kidnapped students and staff of NTIC would be released within 24 hours.
He spoke with reporters shortly after his visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta.
Aderanti said that he spoke with the leader of the search team shortly before his visit and got a positive response from him.
He however denied that the victims’ families had paid ransom.
“No ransom has been paid,’’ he said.
The AIG commended the state’s Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, for putting in place an effective security system in the state.
He urged residents of Ogun to partner with the police to ensure that lives and property were properly secured.
