Secret DSS Intelligence Behind the Safe Release of Orire Kidnap Victims
Intelligence often goes unnoticed in public military operations. The recent Orire kidnap victims walked free not through force but after their captors’ relatives were identified and detained. That breakthrough came from diligent work by the DSS and other security agencies. Despite praise for frontline units, it was intelligence officers who traced the kidnappers and secured the hostages’ release. True professionals stay silent even when others take credit for their deeds. I must also highlight the restraint of our leaders—the President, the Oyo State Governor, the Defence Minister, the NSA and the DSS head. They resisted pressure for a hasty assault that could have endangered the captives. As the Yoruba proverb warns, hot pap needs patience. This operation shows how careful planning and patience should guide future anti-kidnapping efforts.
