ADC to FG: Stop measuring success by rescues, prevent kidnappings
By Luminous Jannamike ABUJA — The African Democratic Congress, ADC, on Saturday urged the Federal Government to stop measuring success by rescue operations and instead prevent kidnappings, arguing that the real test of security is whether Nigerians can live, travel and send their children to school without fear.
The ADC called on the Federal Government to sustain the momentum that led to the Oriire rescue by deploying the same determination, intelligence and operational capacity to secure the release of every Nigerian still being held by criminal elements.
While welcoming the rescue of pupils, teachers and other victims abducted from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State after 56 days in captivity, the opposition party said the same urgency should be given to securing the release of schoolchildren and other victims still being held by kidnappers in Borno State and Kaiama, Kwara State.
