President Bola Tinubu has expressed gratitude to the nation’s security forces following the release of 38 worshippers abducted from a church in Kwara State.
Reports on Sunday, November 23, confirmed that the abducted congregants of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Eruku in Ekiti Local Government Area, have been safely rescued.
In the same vein, it was announced that 51 students from a Catholic school in Niger State, part of a much larger abduction case, have also been recovered.
Reacting to the developments in a statement, President Tinubu noted that he cancelled his scheduled trip to the G20 summit in South Africa in order to personally oversee security operations in the country.
He said, “You will recall that I cancelled my trip to the G20 summit in South Africa to enable me to coordinate the security efforts at home.”
“Every Nigerian, in Every State, Has the Right to Safety”
In his message, Tinubu affirmed his commitment to protecting all citizens.
He stated, “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. I am closely monitoring the security situation nationwide and receiving continuous updates from the frontline.
“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.”
