The association also called for increased security patrols, permanent security posts, deployment of the Nigeria — Ogun State Anti-Violent Crime Team, and creation of a Security Agencies-Student Leaders Relations Forum. NANS Secretary-General Oladimeji Uthman criticized security agencies for ignoring previous engagement requests but commended Governor Dapo Abiodun and Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun for deploying a police aircraft. The Nigeria — Ogun State Police Command confirmed the abduction and said tactical units were deployed. The incidents reflect worsening insecurity around tertiary institutions in Nigeria — Ogun State.
