Apparently disturbed by the bandits’ attacks in Kebbi and Kwara States, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his scheduled trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, and Luanda, Angola.

The President is reportedly awaiting further security briefings on the kidnapped Kebbi schoolgirls and the attack on Christ Apostolic Church worshippers in Eruku, Kwara State.

In a statement by his chief spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said the president’s decision to delay the trips was in response to the request by the governor of Kwara State, who pleaded for more security men to go after bandits that invaded CAC church in Eruku in the Ekiti Local Government area, killed two worshippers, and abducted many worshippers.

President Tinubu was scheduled to leave Abuja today, Wednesday, 19 November, to attend the 20th G20 Summit of leaders in South Africa and thereafter proceed to Luanda to attend the 7th AU-EU Summit.

The statement said he was disturbed by the security breaches in Kebbi State and Monday’s attack by bandits against worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church, Eruku.

“He now awaits reports from Vice President Kashim Shettima, who paid a sympathy visit to Kebbi on his behalf, as well as reports from the police and the Department of State Services regarding the attack in Kwara.

“President Tinubu reiterates his directive to the security agencies to do everything possible to rescue the 24 schoolgirls abducted by the bandits and bring the girls back home safe,” the statement concluded.
