President Bola Tinubu has, for the umpteenth time, given assurance of the safe return of the school children kidnapped recently in Oyo and Borno States.
In a release issued on Wednesday to mark the 2026 Children’s Day, the president, whose statement focussed mainly on the issue of the abducted children, assured parents and teachers that as a father and president, he will not forget or abandon the children in captivity.
