President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his planned travel to Luanda, Angola, and Johannesburg, South Africa, in order to receive further security briefings about the abduction of Kebbi schoolgirls and the attack on members of the Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State.
His Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made this announcement in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to the statement, Tinubu has instructed the police to pursue the bandits who attacked worshippers and ordered the deployment of additional security personnel to Eruku and the state’s whole Ekiti Local Government Area.
According to ZINGTIE, President Tinubu was supposed to depart Abuja on Wednesday to attend the 20th G20 Summit of South African leaders before traveling to Luanda to attend the 7th AU-EU Summit.
“Disturbed by the security breaches in Kebbi State and Monday’s attack by bandits against worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church, Eruku, President Tinubu decided to suspend his departure.
“He now awaits reports from Vice President Kashim Shettima, who paid a sympathetic visit to Kebbi on his behalf, as well as reports from the police and the Department of State Services regarding the attack in Kwara,” the statement said.
The statement claims that the President reaffirmed his order to the security services to make every effort to save the 24 schoolgirls who were kidnapped by the bandits and return them home safely.
