The rescue, yesterday, of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, from the hands of his kidnappers was made possible following aerial and land operations as coordinated by Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase.

Force Public Relations Officer, Ag. ACP Olabisi Kolawole disclosed this yesterday evening in a statement issued in Abuja.

The operation started in the early hours of the day, and involved combing “every nook and cranny of Ondo state till success was achieved in Owo.”

She added: “Speaking in Owo while re-uniting Chief Olu Falae with his family, the Inspector-General of Police said those who think Nigeria is lawless should have a rethink as the Nigeria Police Force and other sister agencies are everywhere to dealdecisively with those miscreants who intend to test the capabilities of the Force. He further said that Falae is hale and hearty.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police promised to leave no stone unturned till the perpetrators of the dastardly act are brought to book.”
