Abuja, November 24 (Xinhua) — Nigerian President Bola Tinubu on Sunday confirmed the release of at least 89 people kidnapped earlier last week in the country's central region.
Among the victims who were rescued were 38 worshippers kidnapped during a church service in Eruku in Kwara state and at least 51 students captured in an attack on a school in Niger state on Friday, Tinubu said in a statement on his social media account.
It should be recalled that at least 315 students and teachers of St. Mary's School were taken hostage by terrorists in the Aghwara Local Government Area.
According to B. Tinubu, the abductees were released thanks to the coordinated actions of the security services, which he personally oversaw after the cancellation of a planned trip to the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"Let me be clear: I will not back down. Every Nigerian, in every state, has the right to security, and under my leadership, we will ensure the security of this country and protect our people," he emphasized.
Nigeria's president has ordered police officers providing security for VIPs to focus on core duties as many parts of Nigeria, especially remote areas, have few police officers, making it difficult to protect the public.
He added that police presence should be strengthened in all communities given the current security challenges in the country. –0–
