[Shola Sholaz]

Mr Adeyemi Ikuforiji, the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), has commended the Nigeria Police Force for its prompt rescue of a kidnapped prominent cleric.
.
Ikuforiji made the commendation in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rotimi Adebayo, on Thursday in Lagos.
.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the former Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Dr Peter Akinola, was kidnapped on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
.
"The news of the kidnap of the erstwhile Primate was received with shock and sadness when it came.
.
"For a man of God of the status of Akinola to have been so kidnapped in broad daylight on the eve of Christmas was very sad indeed.
.
"It was even more worrisome that the kidnap itself was said to have been carried out by heavily armed youths," the speaker said in the statement.
.
He said it was therefore a great relief when news of the cleric's successful rescue by men of the Ogun State Police Command came.
.
Ikuforiji urged Nigerians to thank God who made it possible for the successful rescue of the former primate during yuletide.
.
He said it was imperative therefore that government must properly equip the police.
.
The speaker also said the time had now come to also approve the take-off of state police as earlier advocated for in some quarters.
