President Bola Tinubu has postponed his planned trips to South Africa and Angola following the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi and the attack on worshippers in the Eruku community of Kwara state.
A statement issued on Wednesday by Bayo Onanuga, special adviser on information and strategy to the president, said Tinubu took the decision after receiving a request from AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, governor of Kwara, for increased security deployment to the troubled area.
Onanuga said the president ordered the dispatch of additional security personnel to Eruku and the entire Ekiti LGA, with a directive to the police to track down the attackers who invaded the Christ Apostolic Church on Monday.
Tinubu had been scheduled to depart Abuja today for Johannesburg to attend the 20th G20 Summit of leaders before proceeding to Luanda for the 7th AU-EU Summit.
