President Tinubu urges intensified efforts to rescue other captives, after release of schoolgirls seized in Kebbi State.
Twenty-four girls abducted from a boarding school in Kebbi State, Nigeria, have been released, prompting President Bola Tinubu to call for enhanced security measures to prevent further kidnappings. The girls were taken on November 17 by armed assailants who struck shortly after military forces had departed. Tinubu emphasized the need for increased military presence in vulnerable areas, as mass kidnappings for ransom have surged in northern Nigeria. In a related incident, gunmen also kidnapped ten women and children in Kwara State, highlighting the ongoing security crisis.
