News Update

President Bola Tinubu has thanked security forces, after Catholic School students in Niger State and worshippers in Kwara State, regained their freedom.

In a statement on Sunday, he promised that every Nigerian would be safe under his watch.

His statement read: “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.

“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.”
