Group Hails Tinubu, Matawalle, Security Chiefs for Rescue of 24 Abducted Kebbi Schoolgirls




The Network for Peace and Development (NPD) has described the successful rescue of the 24 schoolgirls abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Maga, Kebbi State, as “a divine victory and a resounding testament to decisive presidential leadership.”

In a statement issued this evening and signed by its Executive Director, Rev. Moses Adamu, the group praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his immediate and firm directive that produced results in record time.

“To the glory of God Almighty, our daughters are back home alive and unharmed,” Rev. Adamu declared.

“This miracle did not happen by chance. It is the direct result of Mr. President’s fatherly resolve when he ordered the Honourable Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, to relocate to Kebbi State and ensure the girls were brought back alive. That single instruction changed everything.”

The NPD singled out Dr. Matawalle for special commendation, describing his physical presence in the state as the turning point in the operation.

“Dr. Matawalle did not sit in Abuja issuing press releases. He moved to the theatre of operation, coordinated the forces on ground, and led from the front.

“Today, Kebbi and the entire nation are celebrating because of his courage and commitment,” the statement read.

Rev. Adamu also poured encomiums on the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police, and troops who executed what he called “a flawless rescue mission.”

“These gallant men and women worked day and night, risking their lives in difficult terrain, because leadership at the very top gave them no option but failure.”

The Network revealed that it worked hand-in-hand with the federal security forces throughout the eight-day ordeal, supplying vital community intelligence and mobilising local hunters.

“We saw first-hand the determination of our security agencies when they are backed by a President who means business,” Rev. Adamu said.

While rejoicing with the families, the NPD mourned the death of the school’s Vice Principal, Malam Hassan Makuku, who was killed during the attack, and prayed for his soul.

The group urged sustained momentum in securing schools nationwide, declaring: “Today, Mr. President, Dr. Bello Matawalle, and our security forces have shown that no child will be abandoned in the hands of criminals as long as this administration is in power.”

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...
