Abduction: Tinubu Orders 24 Hours Aerial Surveillance Over Kwara Forests
President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Nigerian Air Force to sustain its aerial surveillance over operational base of armed bandits hiding in Kwara State’s forests.
Mr President gave the directive following the abduction of 38 worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) by bandits in Eruku, one of the communities in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.
All the kidnapped victims were rescued days after the ugly incident.
A statement by Mr Sunday Dare, the Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications to the President regarding the order reads…
“President Tinubu has ordered total security cordon over the forests in Kwara state following recent kidnappings and terrorist activities.
President Tinubu directed the airforce to expand its air surveillance across the innermost parts of the forests in Kwara state where it is believed the terrorists are hiding. They are to maintain a 24 hour surveillance and link up with the booths on the ground. This order equally applies to the Kebbi and Niger States axis where many are expected to be rescued.
Communities are also urged to provide timely information about strange movements and activities to aide the work of the security forces.”
