The President expressed his sympathies to the people of Ekiti State, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, and the families and subjects of the traditional rulers over this incredibly painful tragedy.

Also, Tinubu has directed the prompt rescue of pupils and their teachers abducted in the Eporo area of the state.

As the government’s primary duty is to protect the people and their property, President Tinubu reassured Nigerians that the country’s security framework is being firmly strengthened in order to achieve better and anticipated results.
