The Federal Government has again secured the release of 3 remaining children of a Kaduna Judge, Janet Gimba after 15 days in kidnappers’ den.

While reuniting the children with their parents on Tuesday at the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, expressed the sincere sympathy of the Federal Government for the loss of one of the children while in captivity, noting that the issue of kidnapping is a tragedy and assured that the Government would continue to intensify efforts to rid the country of all forms of criminality.  

Earlier, the father of the rescued children, Dr. Musa Dutse Gimba, on behalf of the family, expressed gratitude to the Office of the National Adviser (ONSA), the military and the security forces, for demonstrating exceptional professionalism and bravery, in successfully conducting the rescue operation.

“Thanks to the meticulous planning and coordination led by the Office of the National Security Adviser, our three surviving children are now free,” he said.

Gimba also thanked all who stood by the family at the period of trial. He called for the support of all to end the menace of kidnapping in the country.

It could be recalled that the NSA recently assured Nigerians that the security forces would continue to ensure successful release of abductees across the country without payment of ransom as directed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
