The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, has disclosed that some world powers are backing Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.
Ribadu said countries like the United States, US, France,
United Kingdom, UK, and some others are already providing technical support in
Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.
The NSA spoke in Kontagora, Niger State, during a visit to
the Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Northern Region, Bishop
Bulus Yohanna, following the abduction of students of St. Mary’s Private
Catholic School, Papiri in Niger State.
Noting that Tinubu is “pained,” the NSA said the president
has directed security agencies to ensure the safe return of the kidnapped
children.
Speaking to Christian leaders and parents who gathered at
St. Michael’s Catholic Cathedral, Ribadu said: “This is a painful period for
all of us but I want to assure you: we will rescue your children. The President
is deeply concerned and has directed that everything necessary must be done.
He conveyed President Tinubu’s message of solidarity and
resolve, noting that the President had suspended official engagements,
including a scheduled trip, to focus on the matter.
The NSA noted that the Federal Government was taking full
responsibility towards ensuring the restoration of peace to the affected
communities.
He said: “The whole world stands with us. This evil will not
prevail. Your children will come back safely. That is our solemn promise.
“Many good people from all over the world are coming to
support us, including the United States of America.
“We appreciate everyone, especially the European countries
like France, the United Kingdom and couple of others”.
