Thirty-eight victims abducted during an attack on Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) in Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, have regained their freedom after an intensive rescue operation coordinated by security agencies and top government officials.
This was confirmed in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to Kwara state governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, said Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq while announcing the development today expressed deep appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for personally leading the intervention that secured the victims’ release.
According to the Governor, President Tinubu’s “hands-on approach” and decisive actions were central to the breakthrough.
He noted that the President cancelled his scheduled G20 trip to South Africa to tackle the security breaches recorded in Kwara and Kebbi States, directing heavy security deployment to the affected areas.
Abductees were freed on today, November 23, following days of coordinated operations by the Office of the National Security Adviser, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigerian Army, Nigeria Intelligence Agency, and the Nigeria Police Force, which deployed four new tactical teams to Kwara on the President’s orders.
Governor AbdulRazaq thanked the security agencies, religious leaders, community stakeholders, and residents of the state for their support throughout the ordeal.
