Rescued Students of Epe Model College: Peter Jonah, Isiaq Rahmon, Adebayo George, Judah Agbausi, Pelumi Phillips, and Farouq Yusuf.(Not in order of Standing)

  

It is a great achievement getting the kidnapped Students of Lagos Model College, Igbonla, Epe finally rescued from the devilish hands of the kidnappers but it very important for the Government of Lagos State to make a sincere apology to the Kidnapped students, their parents and the Management and Staff of  Lagos Model College Igbonla, Epe over the trauma and embarrassment they were subjected to during the captivity of the six students.

 This is necessary and important as the kidnapping in the first place is considered as a result of Government insensitivity to taking precautionary and preventive measures  very important. That was not the first time of Kidnapping  Students in Epe and it was expected that necessary arms of the government and security agents should have studied the situation that led to and make the operation successful for the criminals as prerequisite for preventing further occurrence. The Boko Haram kidnap of Chibok Girls suppose to be a great lesson everybody in the prevention of the ugly experience.   Rescue operation is a game of ludo where no one is sure of 100% success. The life of the Civilian Volunteer who died in the rescue operation is as important as those of the rescued students and each members of the Government team.  Anything could have happened to the boys if the the kidnappers decided to be more devilish within the 65 days of captivity.
