MSSN Commends Rescue of Abducted Oyo Students, Urges Sustained Fight Against Insecurity

The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) has commended the successful rescue and release of students who were abducted in Oyo State, describing the development as a major relief to the victims, their families, schools, and the nation at large.

In a statement issued by its National Headquarters in Abuja, the society praised the coordinated efforts of security agencies and government authorities that led to the students’ freedom, saying the operation underscored the importance of effective collaboration in tackling insecurity.

MSSN specifically lauded the Nigerian Armed Forces, other security agencies, and all individuals involved in the rescue mission for their courage, professionalism, and commitment to protecting lives.

According to the society, the successful operation reflects the dedication and sacrifice of security personnel who continue to work under difficult conditions to safeguard Nigerians.

The organisation also expressed appreciation to the Federal Government and the Oyo State Government for their cooperation and support throughout the rescue operation, urging both administrations to sustain efforts aimed at ensuring that Nigerians can live, work, and pursue education in a safe environment.

While celebrating the students’ release, MSSN paid tribute to teachers and security personnel who reportedly lost their lives during the operation to rescue the victims and restore peace.

The society described the deceased as heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation and called on the Federal Government to honour them with appropriate national awards in recognition of their bravery, patriotism, and selfless service.

It also prayed for Allah’s mercy upon the deceased and comfort for their families.

MSSN stressed that the successful rescue should strengthen Nigeria’s resolve to confront insecurity across the country, particularly around schools and vulnerable communities.

The society called on the Federal Government to intensify security measures to protect educational institutions, noting that every Nigerian child deserves access to education without fear of abduction or violence.

The organisation further appealed to the government and security agencies not to relent until all students and other innocent Nigerians still being held captive, particularly those abducted in Borno State, Kwara State, and other parts of the country, are rescued and reunited with their families.

It urged authorities to deploy all available resources to secure the unconditional release of those still in captivity.

Reaffirming its commitment to national development, MSSN pledged continued support for lawful initiatives aimed at promoting peace, national unity, security, and quality education.

The society also encouraged Nigerians to cooperate with security agencies by providing credible intelligence and supporting collective efforts to address the country’s security challenges.

The statement was jointly signed by the 38th National Amir of MSSN, Engr. Mustapha Tajudeen Olumide, and the 38th National Public Relations Officer, Mallam Moshood Abiola Olatunbi.
