ILORIN, Nigeria – Former presidential candidate Professor Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies has commended President Bola Tinubu and the Department of State Services (DSS) for their roles in the successful rescue of 38 worshippers abducted from Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State.
In a statement released on Monday, the academic and princess of Ira described the operation as a “swift, courageous, and highly coordinated intervention” that demonstrated the administration’s commitment to protecting Nigerian citizens. She praised the DSS for its professionalism and precision intelligence that led to the safe return of the captives after five days in captivity.
Adesanya-Davies called for sustained intelligence gathering and stronger synergy among security agencies, emphasizing that the successful rescue operation proves Nigeria has the capacity to defeat criminality when political will is clear and security agencies receive proper support.
The former candidate urged continued vigilance and investment in technology and community-based security systems to protect worshippers, students, and citizens across all regions of the country.
