Reacting to the development, Governor Yusuf commended CP Bakori and officers of the state police command for their efforts in securing the release of the APC chairman.
The governor particularly acknowledged the contributions of the Officer-in-Charge of the Police Anti-Kidnapping Squad, CSP Aliyu Muhammad Auwal; CSP Ado Muhammad Audi; and the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, to the successful operation.
Governor Yusuf also directed the State Commissioner for Health to ensure that the rescued APC chairman receives comprehensive medical attention and psychosocial rehabilitation at the expense of the state government.
He reiterated his administration’s commitment to supporting security agencies in their efforts to protect lives and property and guarantee the safety of residents across the state.
