The governor thanked the Police and other security agencies involved in the exercise.

“I appreciate the efforts of the Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Police and other security agencies involved in the exercise that will now see the ladies reunited with their respective families,” he tweeted.

Gunmen had stormed the Ayetoro campus in Yewa North on Sunday night, and kidnapped the students.

The gunmen were said to have demanded N50 million for the release of the students.
