Aderanti on Tuesday gave the assurance  that the kidnapped students and staff of the Nigeria Turkish International School,  Isheri, Ogun,  would be released.

Aderanti gave the assurance while speaking with newsmen shortly after his visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his   hill top residence in Abeokuta.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that eight students and staff of the Nigeria Turkish International College in Ogun were recently abducted from the school by unknown gunmen.

The AIG, however,  said that he spoke with the leader of the search team shortly before his visit and that he got a positive response from him.

He  denied rumours that the families of the victims had  been paying ransom,  insisting that  “no ransom has been paid.’’

Aderanti  commended the state’s  Commissioner of Police,  Ahmed Iliyasu,  for putting in place an effective security system in the state.

He  urged  residents of  Ogun to partner  with the police to ensure that lives and property were properly secured.
