“My thoughts are with them even as I pray that all those abducted will be rescued and reunited with their families, soon.”
“I urge Nigerians to be vigilant, optimistic, and not to succumb to pessimism and fear. I call on the security and intelligence services to scale up their efforts and ensure that perpetrators of these dastardly crimes are served with justice, and restore normalcy to our land.”, the statement read.
