OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports as gathered that Tinubu gave the directive which mandates the Chief of Degence staff, the combined team of the country security forces including the Military, Police and the State Security Service to track down the perpetrators and ensure the immediate rescue of all kidnapped victims on Sunday in a press statement by the president’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement reads, “These terrorists have tested the resolve of our country and its people. They must, therefore, face the full consequences of their criminal actions," adding that, “No matter who they are or what their intent is, they must be hunted down. They, and all those who aid, abet, or enable them in any form, will be caught and brought to justice.”
