Oriire Schoolchildren: How arrest of kidnappers’ family members led victims’ rescue
•Why terrorists’ proposed exchange was rejected By Dapo Akinrefon LAGOS — FRESH details have emerged on the intelligence-led operation that culminated in the successful rescue of schoolchildren and teachers abducted from Ahoro-Esinle, Yawota and Alawusa communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, with security sources disclosing that the arrest of family members of the kidnappers proved to be a decisive turning point.
Final order on rescue mission A source familiar with the operation disclosed that the final order to storm the camp was issued on Thursday night after fresh intelligence reportedly confirmed that the abducted schoolchildren and teachers were no longer being used as human shields.
Security agencies, however, rejected the proposal, insisting that the captives must first be released and that the kidnappers should surrender or face arrest or possible elimination during military operations.
