All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Kwara State, Engr. Femi Sanni, popularly known as Araba, has expressed relief over the release of victims abducted from Woro Community in Kaiama Local Government Area of the state.
Araba, in a statement, described the development as a moment of joy for the victims, their families and the people of Kwara State, while commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and security agencies for their efforts towards securing the victims’ freedom.
He said the successful release underscored the importance of sustained collaboration among the Federal Government, state government and security agencies in tackling insecurity.
“The return of these victims is a reminder that every life matters. While we celebrate their freedom today, we must also remember the trauma, fear and uncertainty they and their loved ones endured throughout this painful ordeal.
“Our thoughts remain with them as they begin the journey of healing and recovery,” he said.
The APC aspirant also commended the people of Woro, traditional rulers, religious leaders, community organisations and the media for keeping the plight of the abductees in the public consciousness through sustained prayers, advocacy and calls for their release.
Araba urged security agencies to intensify efforts to dismantle criminal networks threatening communities across Kwara State.
He stressed the need for stronger intelligence gathering, deeper collaboration between security agencies and local communities, and greater vigilance to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
“The best celebration of this successful outcome is to ensure that no family has to experience such anguish again. We must continue to strengthen intelligence gathering, deepen community collaboration and remain vigilant against all forms of criminality,” he added.
Araba congratulated the released victims, their families and the entire Woro community, while praying for their full recovery and lasting peace across Kwara State and Nigeria.
