Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written a passionate letter to the Governor of Osun state, Ibikunle Amosun.

In his letter, Obasanjo commended him for the successful rescue of a former minister, Iyabo Anisulowo, who was kidnapped on April 27 in Ilaro in Yewa South local government area of the state.

He praised Amosun's examplary leadership, commitment and dedication to the good people of Ogun State in particular and Nigerians in general.

According to Obasanjo, it “was enormously heartening to see the fruition of your uplifting eagerness and action in getting the release of Senator Iyabo Anisulowo from the den of her kidnappers without her being harmed and without ransom being paid”.

He commended everyone who took part in the rescue operation of Senator Iyabo Anisulowo.

“The service provided by them was exemplary such that all of us could now feel more reassured in the State. Indeed, the facilities and mobilisation provided by you and the Federal Government for the rescue exercise must have also complemented their efforts in securing Senator Anisulowo’s release.

“My dear Governor, once again, I salute you for your leadership in this respect. By so doing, you have shown the path for governments at different levels to follow with the hope that such diligence and commitment to discourage these criminal elements will be emulated by all,” Mr. Obasanjo said.

Mrs. Iyabo Anisulowo was rescued the former minister six days after her abduction. She was rescued at Gbegbelawo village, a suburb of Olorunda town, located in Yewa North local government of the state.

He also said two suspected kidnappers were arrested during the rescue operation.
