The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has addressed concerns over the absence of arrests during the recent rescue operation involving abd¥cted victims in Kwara State.
Responding to questions from journalists, the IGP emphasized that the safety of victims always takes priority over pursuing suspects during active rescue missions.
“When the individuals are abd¥cted and taken into captivity, our first concern is the rescue and safe return of those victims to their families,” he stated. “And the Kwara incident is not the first time we will be doing that. Whenever we get hold of the victims, our first assignment is to reunite them with their families before we think of any other thing.”
The IGP explained that although investigations and follow-up actions are important, the immediate goal in such situations is to secure the victims without escalating danger.
He added that he would not dwell too much on the details of the operation but assured Nigerians that the Police remain committed to saving lives first.
According to him, the first mission is always the safe rescue of victims from their abductors, after which the Force intensifies efforts to track, identify, and arrest the perpetrators.
