Members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State, are currently in a joyous mood in response to the news of the arrest of the kidnappers who abducted their Chairman sometimes last year, while commending the police operatives for a job well done.
According to a release issued by Ekiti APC spokesman, Segun Dipe, the party faithfuls who had never stopped praying that those who committed the heinous crime should know no peace until they are caught, are very much elated that the security operatives swooped on their hideouts and made commendable arrests.
The Ekiti State Police Command had over the weekend paraded eight of the suspected kidnappers, including two vigilante officers, allegedly involved in various kidnapping cases in the state including the abduction of Pupils of Apostolic Faith Groups of School, Emure on 29th January 2024.
The arrested syndicate was particularly fingered as responsible for the kidnap of the APC State Chairman, Barrister Paul Omotoso along Agbado/Imesi Ekiti road on the 8th of July 2023 almond others.
At aThanksgiving service in appreciation of his safe return from the den of the kidnappers where he was kept for five gruesome days, Barrister Omotoso along with those who came to rejoice with him had prayed in one accord that the kidnappers should not get away with their act and must be nabbed soonest
“What baffles us most is the fact that the syndicate failed to desist from their nefarious activities and still wanted to kidnap some more, resulting in their nabbing.”
“It is a bitter-sweet feeling for us. Bitter that these men of evil could make our communities their spots, yet sweet that they could not get far before the hands of the law caught up with them. Our prayers are answered and we owe our indefatigable governor, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, who had vowed to make insecurity such as kidnapping a thing of the past, tons of appreciation. He is seriously walking his talk.”
We also appreciate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for giving us his listening ears and helping hands when we needed them most. The President did not discount our cry of distress, he gave us the maximum support and the result is what we are seeing now.”
We know that it is not yet uhuru, but just the beginning of the end for those men of the underworld. Those remaining among them have murdered sleep and will not escape justice. The task of cleaning our communities of the miscreants is that of everyone and our party is calling on all dwellers to be on the alert and report every strange movement to the security operatives.
As for those already caught, we know that justice will not only be done but will be seen as well done.
