President Tinubu on Wednesday postponed his planned trips to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola, to receive further security briefings following the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State and the attack on worshippers in Eruku, Kwara State.
The President had been scheduled to depart Abuja for the 20th G20 Summit and later attend the 7th AU-EU Summit but suspended his travel after what the Presidency described as “disturbing” security breaches in both states.
According to a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu has directed the military and police to deploy additional personnel to Eruku and the wider Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.
