“We congratulate the Police and other security agencies for their swiftness in attending to the security brief. We appreciate the local hunters and members of the Edo State Security Network as their collaboration assisted in this operation. This synergy led to the success recorded in a very short time.”
“We hope this is the last time we will have such an attack on government infrastructure, especially train stations here in Edo State. Our security network was swift to react to the incident and we condole the families of the victims. We will give necessary support to the security agencies, vigilantes, and local hunters who are on the trail of these kidnappers,” he added.
The new issue of Hoodlums going to train stations to kidnap people is alarming, this is a call that all state governments should mount enough Security agents in every station, the train which is regarded as the safest means of transport is no longer safe since these hoodlums decided on using capitalizing on the opportunity to kidnap victims and demand for Ransom.
The Kaduna train attack still instills fear in everyone, considering the atrocities that were committed on that train by Hoodlums to unsuspecting victims. Since Hoodlums have decided to pass through that route to kidnapping citizens the government should step up its game in ensuring that such incidents don’t even occur, as it is embarrassing to hear of such things. Security cameras should be mounted in each train station in Nigeria, Security officers well equipped with arms should be stationed at the respective stations.
