The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has welcomed the release of two Kaduna-based journalists, AbdulGafar Alabelewe and AbdulRaheem Aodu, who were kidnapped from their homes last weekend. 

The minister's special assistant, Rabiu Ibrahim, released a statement on July 14, 2024, confirming the journalists' release and the minister's commendation of security agencies.

The minister received the journalists from the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and commended security agencies for their swift recovery.

The two journalists were released along with Mr. Alabelewe's wife and two children. The minister expressed sympathy to the families and praised the security agencies for their tireless efforts in ensuring the safe return of the victims. 

He urged Nigerians to keep faith with the current administration and security agencies, who are working to ensure the freedom of all kidnapped victims without ransom.

The NSA attributed the rescue to a combined effort of security agencies, which led to a swift search and rescue operation. One of the rescued victims, Mr. Alabelewe, thanked the NSA and his team for their swift intervention, expressing gratitude and renewed hope in the government's ability to tackle kidnapping.
