BREAKING: Tinubu Postpones G20, AU-EU Summit Trips, Issues Fresh Directives to Military and Police

The planned trip to Luanda, Angola, and Johannesburg, South Africa, has been postponed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This was reportedly done while he awaited additional security briefings regarding the abduction of Kebbi schoolgirls and the assault on worshippers of the Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku, Kwara State.

In a statement on Wednesday, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, revealed this.

President Tinubu has ordered the deployment of additional security personnel to Eruku and the entire Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State in response to the governor’s request. He has also instructed the police to pursue the bandits who attacked worshippers.

Recall that Tinubu was supposed to depart Abuja today to attend the 20th G20 Summit of South African leaders before traveling to Luanda to attend the 7th AU-EU Summit.

President Tinubu chose to postpone his trip after being alarmed by the security lapses in Kebbi State and the bandits’ attack on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku on Monday.

He is still awaiting reports on the incident in Kwara from the Department of State Services and the police, as well as from Vice President Kashim Shettima, who visited Kebbi in sympathy.

President Tinubu reaffirmed his order to the security services to do all within their power to free the 24 schoolgirls who were kidnapped by the bandits and return them home safely.
