President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday received the Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting focused on security developments in Kaduna State.

Governor Sani briefed the President on the successful rescue of worshippers abducted from churches in the Kurmin Wali community of Kajuru Local Government Area on January 18, 2026.

According to the governor, the victims were freed through sustained joint operations carried out by state and federal security agencies, leading to their safe release over the past week.

DAILY POST recalls that the abduction occurred when gunmen stormed three churches in the community, kidnapping more than 100 worshippers and triggering widespread concern across the state.

In a related development, Governor Sani on Thursday received 183 rescued victims who regained their freedom after spending 19 days in captivity, marking a major breakthrough in the ongoing security efforts in the area.
