President Tinubu on Sunday announced the rescue of 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State, and 51 students earlier seized from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Papiri, Niger State, reaffirming his administration’s resolve to tackle insecurity across the country.
In a statement posted on his official channels, the President said he had cancelled his planned trip to the G20 Summit in South Africa to coordinate security operations at home. He credited the recent breakthroughs to the intensified efforts of security forces engaged in multiple rescue missions nationwide.
Tinubu said 38 abducted worshippers in Kwara had regained freedom, while 51 of the missing students from the Niger school attack were also recovered. Search-and-rescue operations remain ongoing for others still unaccounted for.
