Nigerian president puts off G20 trip to boost internal security

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu is postponing his trip to the G20 summit in South Africa this coming weekend in order to focus his government’s efforts on the abductions of two dozen schoolgirls and a separate attack on a Christian church.

“Disturbed by the security breaches in Kebbi state and Tuesday’s attack by bandits against worshippers at Christ Apostolic Church, Eruku, President Tinubu decided to suspend his departure” to the G20 summit, a spokesperson for the president said.
