The lawmaker representing Edo South Senatorial District, Senator Neda Imasuen, has strongly condemned the kidnapping incident that occurred at the Vegetable Market axis of Airport Road, Benin City, describing the attack as unacceptable and a threat to public safety.
Senator Imasuen, who is also the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, called on security agencies to act decisively by tracking down the kidnappers and ensuring the safe rescue of the victim.
Reacting to the incident on Sunday, the senator expressed concern over the growing insecurity in parts of Edo State and stressed that criminal elements must not be allowed to operate freely and terrorise innocent citizens.
He urged security operatives to intensify intelligence gathering and deployment efforts in the area, insisting that those responsible for the abduction must be apprehended and brought to justice without delay.
“The perpetrators of this heinous act must be fished out, while every effort should be made to secure the immediate and unharmed release of the victims,” he stated.

The senator called on residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies by providing useful information that could aid ongoing efforts to combat crime and restore public confidence.
