SAN FRANCISCO, September 23, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday condemned the abduction of a former Secretary to the Federal Government, Chief Olu Falae and has directed the Inspector-General of Police and other security agencies to take all necessary action to ensure the safe and speedy rescue of the elder statesman who was abducted from his farm on Monday.
President Buhari in a statement signed by his special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, condemned what he described as the callous and reprehensible kidnapping of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and elder statesman.
The President assured Falae’s family, friends and other concerned Nigerians that the Federal Government would do all within its powers to ensure his swift release.
President Buhari has therefore requested constant updates from the police and security agencies on efforts to find and rescue Chief Falae even as he also denounced the recurring incidents of criminal abductions across the country.
He assured all Nigerians that ongoing efforts to significantly enhance the security of lives and property in the country will continue apace and that under his leadership, Nigerians, irrespective of their status, will no longer be left at the mercy of criminal elements.
