In a statement, an appointed consultant to the president confirmed that all the girls abducted from learning institution in Kebbi State were now safe, stating that this event sparked imitation captures in two other Nigerian states.

Tinubu said that additional forces are being positioned in sensitive locations to stop more cases of kidnapping".

Through another message on X, the president wrote: "Military aviation will continue constant observation across distant regions, coordinating activities alongside land forces to properly detect, separate, disrupt, and counteract any dangerous presence."

Exceeding 1,500 children were taken hostage from educational institutions in recent years, during which multiple young women got captured in the notorious Chibok mass abduction.

Recently, a minimum of numerous pupils and workers got captured at a learning facility, religious educational establishment, situated in local province.

Several dozen people captured at learning institution managed to get away based on information from the Christian Association - yet approximately numerous individuals haven't been located.

The main Catholic cleric within the area has commented that Nigeria's government is making "little substantial action" to rescue captured persons.

The abduction at the institution marked the third instance impacting the country over recent days, pressuring President Bola Tinubu to postpone journey to the G20 summit taking place in the southern nation days ago to manage the emergency.

United Nations representative Gordon Brown requested global organizations to try everything possible" to help measures to return the abducted children.

The representative, previous head of government, commented: "We also have responsibility to make certain Nigerian schools remain secure environments for learning, instead of locations where children can be plucked from learning environments for illegal gain."
