DSS Used Threat Videos to Bandits’ Families to Secure Oriire Pupils’ Rescue
Counter-terrorism expert Dr. Seyi Adebayo revealed new details of the intelligence tactics used by the DSS and other security agencies in rescuing Oriire pupils, teachers, and their principal. In a recent TVC News interview, he explained that operatives tracked suspects through several northern states and detained their relatives and associates. They then recorded videos showing family members under guard and sent them to the kidnappers with a clear message: if any victim was harmed, their own families would face the same fate. This operation aimed to pressure the criminal gang into sparing the abductees. Adebayo said it demonstrated how coordinated intelligence gathering and targeted arrests can disrupt a kidnappers’ support network and influence their decisions. The successful rescue has been hailed as a prime example of inter-agency collaboration against kidnapping in Nigeria.
