But in a statement signed by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, his Special Adviser, the President directed security and intelligence agencies to immediately rescue the victims and ensure that justice is served against the perpetrators of these abominable acts.

“I have received a briefing from security chiefs on the two incidents and I am confident that the victims will be rescued. Nothing else is acceptable to me and the waiting family members of these abducted citizens. Justice will be decisively administered,” President Tinubu says.

The President sympathizes with the families of the victims, assuring them that they will soon be reunited with their loved ones.
