If the Nigerian Police can stand up to their responsibility as they did for the Minister's mother the state will be a better place for everybody irrespective of your position in the society.The problem of kidnapping has been on in the state for a long time but if we had follow up the events the way we handled this i think the situation would have been much better by now.While we thank the state security Agencies for the good job i would also suggest that we move into action as quickly as possible in all situations irrespective of who is involved in the case.
