On Tuesday, some worshippers were abducted when bandits
attacked a branch of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) at Oke Isegun in the Eruku
community, a boundary town with Kogi in the Ekiti LGA of Kwara state.

A video of the attack, captured during a live stream and
seen by TheCable, shows the worshippers conducting a service when sporadic
gunshots were heard from around the church premises.

The congregation, led by a young pastor, scampered for
safety as the gunshots intensified, after which some bandits were seen entering
the church. The attack reportedly happened at about 6pm.

In a statement posted on X, on Sunday, Tinubu said he is
closely monitoring the security situation nationwide, adding that the country
and its people will be protected under his watch.

The president further said 51 abducted pupils in Niger state
have also been recovered.

“My fellow Nigerians, you will recall that I cancelled my
trip to the G20 summit in South Africa to enable me coordinate the security
efforts at home,” Tinubu said.

”Thanks to the efforts of our security forces over the last
few days, all the 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State have been
rescued.

“I am equally happy that 51 out of the missing students of
the Catholic School in Niger State, have been recovered.

“I am closely monitoring the security situation nationwide
and receiving continuous updates from the frontline.

“Let me be clear: I will not relent. Every Nigerian, in
every state, has the right to safety — and under my watch, we will secure this
nation and protect our people.”
