In a heartfelt show of solidarity and appreciation, Engr. Nurudeen Adeyemi has commended the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice displayed by the vigilante operatives in the Ekiti Local Government Area who recently confronted and subdued kidnappers during a daring rescue operation. Their courageous intervention led to the successful release of kidnapped victims, though not without the painful loss and injury of some gallant members of the team.
Engr. Adeyemi described the actions of the vigilantes as a profound demonstration of selflessness, community spirit, and commitment to public safety. He expressed deep sympathy to the families of the fallen heroes who paid the ultimate price in the line of duty and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured operatives currently receiving medical care at the Federal Medical Centre, Ido, Ekiti State.
In fulfillment of his pledge to support the security architecture of His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Executive Governor of Kwara State and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum—especially across the Kwara South Senatorial District—Engr. Adeyemi made various monetary donations to the affected vigilante operatives and their next of kin.
He emphasized that while money can never replace the lives or well-being lost in the line of duty, his gesture is a token of appreciation and a reassurance that the sacrifices of the state’s community security operatives do not go unnoticed.
This support is not a repayment but a sincere acknowledgment of their bravery and dedication. Our security operatives put their lives on the line daily to keep our communities safe. It is only right that we stand by them and their families in times like this,” Engr. Adeyemi said.
He further lauded the Executive Chairman of Ekiti Local Government Council, Hon. Awelewa Olawale, for his swift response and compassionate visit to the injured operatives, as well as for his decision to place all vigilante members under an insurance policy—a step Engr. Adeyemi described as visionary and worthy of emulation across other local councils.
Engr. Adeyemi reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to supporting all efforts geared towards strengthening local security frameworks, promoting peace, and ensuring the safety of lives and property across Kwara South and the entire state.
Our sincere gratitude goes to His Excellency Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq total dedication to the safety and security of Kwarans. The efforts of the Executive Governor of Kwara State yielded the needed results with President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR ordering the full deployment of the Nigerian Military to combat and flush out banditry and other criminal elements. These efforts have brought about much-needed return of normalcy to Kwara South and Kwara State as a whole.
