Tinubu hails return of abducted Niger students, charges Security operatives on rescue of others

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the security agencies for their efforts in securing the freedom of the 100 students of a Catholic School that was attacked in Niger State.

While expressing joy over the return of the students, President Tinubu charged security agencies to ensure the swift release of the remaining 115 students and their teachers who are still held hostage.

This was disclosed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement in Abuja, on Monday.

Onanuga said President Tinubu assured the parents that both the federal and the Niger State governments were working closely to reunite all the abducted students with their families.

Part of the statement said, “I have been briefed on the safe return of 100 students from the Catholic School in Niger State. I rejoice with Governor Umar Bago and commend our security agencies for their steadfast work in ensuring the safe return of the students to their families since the unfortunate incident on November 21.

“My directive to our security forces remains that all the students and other abducted Nigerians across the country must be rescued and brought back home safely. We must account for all the victims.

“The Federal Government will continue to work with Niger State and other states to secure our schools and make the learning environment safer and more conducive for our young ones.

“From now on, our security agencies, working with the governors, must prevent future kidnappings. Our children should no longer be sitting ducks for heartless terrorists intent on disrupting their education and subjecting them and their parents to unspeakable trauma.”
