President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his scheduled trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola, as he awaits further security briefings on the kidnapped Kebbi schoolgirls and the attack on Christ Apostolic Church worshippers in Eruku, Kwara State.
In response to a request by the Governor of Kwara State, President Tinubu has ordered the deployment of more security personnel to Eruku and the entire Ekiti Local Government Area of the state. He has also directed the police to apprehend the bandits who attacked the worshippers.
The President was scheduled to leave Abuja to attend the 20th G20 Summit of leaders in South Africa and then proceed to Luanda to attend the 7th AU-EU Summit. However, he has suspended his departure due to the security breaches in Kebbi State and the attack on Christ Apostolic Church worshippers in Eruku, Kwara State.
