He praised Governor Mbah for his sustained investment in modern security infrastructure, including surveillance systems, drones, vehicles, communication gadgets and the state’s Command and Control security architecture.

Mr Okoh said the successful rescue operation and the arrest of suspected members of the kidnapping syndicate underscore the effectiveness of technology-driven security measures and improved coordination among security agencies.

Speaking further, he commended the security agencies involved in the operation for their professionalism, bravery, and commitment to the protection of lives and property in the state.

According to the NYCN State chairman, security remains fundamental to the state’s development. He added that a safe environment is essential for young people to pursue education, entrepreneurship, employment, and other productive engagements.

The Enugu State NYCN chapter further expressed solidarity with the rescued victims and their families, while commending the state government for its continued efforts to make Enugu increasingly a no-go-area for criminally minded individuals and gangs.
