Tinubu Orders Intensified Efforts To Free Remaining 115 Kidnapped Students In Niger State

President Bola Tinubu has ordered security agencies to intensify efforts to secure the immediate release of the remaining 115 students and their teachers abducted from Papiri Catholic School in Niger State, emphasizing that “all victims must be accounted for.”

The directive came on Monday as the President welcomed the safe return of 100 of the kidnapped students, who were rescued through what he described as the “tireless” and “steadfast” work of security operatives.

“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,” Tinubu said.

He assured parents of the remaining abducted children that the Federal Government, working alongside the Niger State Government, is leaving no stone unturned to secure the freedom of every student still in captivity.

“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 President added.
