President Bola Tinubu has postponed his planned trips to the G20 Summit in South Africa and the AU‑EU Summit in Angola to focus on recent security breaches in Nigeria. The decision follows a request from the governor of Kwara State for additional security measures after an attack on worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church in Eruku. Tinubu has ordered the deployment of more security personnel to Eruku and the entire Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, and he has directed the police to pursue the bandits responsible for the assault.
This move is part of a broader effort to improve security in the region, especially after the kidnapping of 24 schoolgirls in Kebbi State. Tinubu was originally scheduled to attend the 20th G20 Summit in Johannesburg and then travel to Luanda for the 7th AU‑EU Summit, but he has suspended his departure pending further security briefings on these incidents. Vice President Kashim Shettima has visited Kebbi State on the president’s behalf to offer sympathy and will provide a report on the situation.
The president has reiterated his directive to security agencies to take all necessary steps to rescue the abducted schoolgirls and ensure their safe return. The security breaches in Kebbi and Kwara States have heightened concerns about the safety of Nigerian citizens. By postponing his trips, Tinubu demonstrates his commitment to addressing these concerns and safeguarding the well‑being of Nigerians. The government continues to monitor the situation closely, strengthen security measures, and work toward preventing future incidents. With additional security personnel deployed and efforts to apprehend those responsible for the attacks, the administration aims to restore peace and stability in the affected regions.
