Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has expressed delight at the rescue of the 38 worshippers abducted during an attack on Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Eruku, in Ekiti LGA of Kwara state.
According to the governor, this is wholly due to the hands-on approach of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who personally led the efforts to free the abductees.
Governor AbdulRazaq announced that the abductees were freed today, November 23.

The Governor said he was immensely grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his direct initiative that made this happen.
“The President had called off his scheduled trip for the G20 Meeting in South Africa to attend to the breaches in Kwara and Kebbi States.”
“He had also directed heightened security deployments to Kwara, in what underlined his firm commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our people and Nigerians as a whole” the governor stated.
The Governor also expressed appreciation to the Office of the National Security Adviser; the Department of State Services (DSS); the Nigerian Army; Nigeria Intelligence Agency; and, of course, the Nigerian Police, which has graciously deployed four new tactical teams to Kwara State on the directive of the President.
The Governor also thanked members of the security forces across board, thought leaders, religious institutions, and all Kwarans for their support and goodwill since the unfortunate incident.
