Invasion Of Kogi Varsity By Kidnappers: Gov Ododo Fingers Internal Collaborators

The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo has fingered internal Collaborators in the invasion of the Confluence University of Science and Technology, Osara, by kidnappers that went away with some students in the night of May 9.
He said: “we installed CCTV cameras in all the classrooms and the entire perimeter of the university campus, yet on the day of the attack, our investigation so far revealed that all the cameras were switched off and this can only be attributed to sabotage by internal collaborators.”
Governor Usman Ododo, who visited the University today, May 11, and took a tour of the campus and its environs, promised that the security agencies are on the heels of the kidnappers, even as investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is ongoing.

“All our students shall return safely and the perpetrators shall be brought to book.”
Governor Ododo said that there will be regular review of the operation as more facts emerge from the investigation.
“I am here to see things myself, to assess the situation and also to review the ongoing operation that will ensure the safe return of the students to the school.
“What is most important now is how to rescue our students unhurt.

“We have the right information at our disposal but we can’t put all that out in the media.
The Governor assured members of the university community of efforts by the government to improve the existing security architecture on the campus.
“It is our duty as a government to protect lives and property in all parts of the state.
“We are prepared to protect the students and that is why we allowed the students to stay on the campus.
“I want the parents and students to be calm as we are making a concerted effort to secure the return of the students.”
The Governor commended the security agencies for their gallantry in minimising the impact of the attack by preventing the attackers from gaining access to the university hostels.
He stressed that nothing will be spared to bring back the students and to prevent a repeat of such an unfortunate attack on the university campus and elsewhere in the state.
