President Bola Tinubu has issued a direct order to security agencies across the country, instructing them to work in close collaboration with State Governors to prevent future kidnappings of Nigerians, especially students and children, who he insisted must no longer fall victim to terrorism.

Dependable NG reports that the President gave the directive while commending the security agencies for successfully securing the release of 100 students from the Papiri Catholic School in Niger State.

We must account for all the victims… From now on, our security agencies, working with the governors, must prevent future kidnappings.”
