The Speaker, while commending the Armed Forces and other collaborators for the safe return of the abductees, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has further exhibited his administration’s commitment to the security of life and property in Nigeria.

The security forces reportedly rescued 163 of those abducted from Woro Community in the Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State and another 145 rescued around Kainji Lake National Park forest in the New Bussa Local Government Area of Niger State.
