Visibly disturbed by the security breach at the Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH), Osara, Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo has charged the locals of the area and beyond to complement government’s efforts by volunteering credible information that could speed up and assist security agencies in their efforts to rescue the abducted students of the university.

Governor Ododo remarked today at the university during an on-the-spot visit alongside some executive members of his cabinet to get firsthand information on the incident.

Governor Ododo who queried why the CCTV monitors were not operational at the time of the attack, hinged it on internal saboteurs.

His remarks: “We cannot rule out internal sabotage in this operation because the school is fully equipped with CCTV cameras, how come they could not capture the attack when it happened?”

According to him, the preliminary reports gathered suspected internal sabotage due to the disconnection of the CCTV cameras within the premises shortly before the attack took place.

The Governor who called for calm as the government works hard in collaboration with security operatives in the state to ensure the safe return of the students, added that no stone would be left unturned to ensure the students are rescued.

While assuring that the security operatives were working round-the-clock to rescue the students, he noted that the government would review security operations within and around the institution to avoid a reoccurrence.

The Governor, who assured that the wrath of the law would fall on the perpetrators of the ugly incident, reiterated that no effort would be left unexplored in the quest to free the victims.

“What is most important to us right now is the rescue of the abducted students and we will not rest until this is achieved as soon as possible.”

Governor Ododo, who was away at the time the incident occurred, had to immediately visit the institution to assess the area and receive briefs from the school management to enable them to collectively strengthen the security architecture in the university.

Governor Ododo commended the local vigilantes, hunter groups, and all the security agencies in the state for the effort made so far to rescue the students.

He added that the government would continue to strengthen security across school communities to make it safe for the students to go about carrying out their academic activities without fear of attack.
