Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has condemned the “atrocious and cowardly” abduction of women which occurred recently in Borno State.
While sympathising with the families of the abducted women, he assured them that the Federal Government will spare no efforts to ensure the safe and speedy return of all the victims.
The Acting President has therefore directed Nigeria’s military and intelligence agencies to take all necessary steps including coordinating with our international partners to rescue the abducted women, as well as to ensure further tightening of security in and around Borno State.
The Buhari presidency assured that the ongoing efforts of security agencies, including the establishment of additional military and police bases in parts of the country, as well as the improved intelligence gathering will continue. He commended some of the recent significant breakthroughs in combating kidnapping and banditry in the country.
