President Bola Tinubu has announced the successful rescue of 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State, and 51 of the missing students of a Catholic school in Niger State.
He also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to securing every part of the country, insisting that no Nigerian should live in fear.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the President said he cancelled his trip to the G20 Summit in South Africa to focus on coordinating national security efforts, following recent attacks across the country.
“You will recall that I cancelled my trip to the G20 summit in South Africa to enable me coordinate the security efforts at home,” he stated.
According to him, security forces have in the last few days achieved major breakthroughs in ongoing rescue operations.
“Thanks to the efforts of our security forces over the last few days, all the 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State have been rescued.
“I am equally happy that 51 out of the missing students of the Catholic School in Niger State have been recovered.”
President Tinubu said he is receiving continuous updates from the frontline and closely monitoring developments nationwide.
He vowed not to relent until the safety of every Nigerian is assured.
“Let me be clear: I will not relent. Every Nigerian, in every state, has the right to safety — and under my watch, we will secure this nation and protect our people.”
The President commended security agencies for the recent gains and assured citizens that his administration is fully committed to restoring peace across all regions.
