Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, on Friday met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, following the safe return of worshippers abducted from Kurmin Wali community in Kajuru Local Government Area of the state.
During the meeting, Governor Sani provided the President with a detailed security briefing on the successful rescue of the victims, who were kidnapped on January 18. He explained that the operation was achieved through intelligence-driven collaboration between state and federal security agencies.
The governor commended President Tinubu for his personal involvement throughout the crisis, noting that the President’s constant engagement and outreach offered reassurance to the affected families and the wider Kaduna community.
Beyond security matters, discussions at the meeting also covered critical infrastructure projects in Kaduna State, including the Birnin Gwari road and the rehabilitation of major highways across the state.
Governor Sani reaffirmed Kaduna State’s commitment to sustained partnership with the Federal Government in strengthening security, improving connectivity and promoting inclusive development.
TVC News had earlier reported that all the worshippers abducted during the attack on churches in Kurmin Wali community were rescued and returned safely. Arrangements were subsequently made at the Kashim Ibrahim House to receive the freed hostages.
The governor had earlier assured residents of Kurmin Wali that concerted efforts were ongoing to secure the release of all abducted persons, an assurance that has now been fulfilled.
