The girls — Timilehin Olosa, Tofunmi Popoola and Deborah Akinayo — were kidnapped by gunmen on Monday on their school premises. A huge public outcry and the pressure on
security agents may have been contributory factors to the rescue of
three female students of Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary in Ikorodu,
Lagos State.
The girls were rescued by policemen and other security operatives at the Imota area of Ikorodu on Sunday.
It was gathered that the public outcry
prompted the government to meet the needs of security agencies on the
rescue operation, while the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase,
sent his special team to Lagos to take over the operation.
The security agents had combed every
nook and cranny of the state, especially the Ikorodu area, making the
abductors uncomfortable to stay in one place.
