Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu has visited Oyo State following the tragic attack and abduction incident that occurred in Oriire Local Government Area of the State last Friday.
The police boss expressed deep concern over the incident and extended heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives during the attack.
The IGP was accompanied on the visit by the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State Command, Ojo Adekimi, owing to the strategic proximity of the Oriire axis to communities bordering Kwara State, as well as the Commissioner of Police, Schools Protection Squad, CP Abayomi Shogunle.
During the visit, the IGP met with the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbenga, alongside other security stakeholders, where he received operational briefings on ongoing rescue efforts and security deployments across the affected communities.
Disu assured residents, parents and guardians that the Nigeria Police Force, in collaboration with other security agencies, has intensified coordinated search-and-rescue operations, intelligence gathering and tactical deployments aimed at securing the safe return of all abducted victims and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
The IGP condemned the attack as cruel and unacceptable, reiterating that no effort would be spared in restoring normalcy to the affected communities.
The police boss further directed the deployment of additional tactical and intelligence assets to strengthen ongoing operations in the area and adjoining forests.
