“Channels of communication have been opened with relevant authorities to secure the release of not only Miss Jennifer Samuel but also other citizens in the captivity of the terrorists,” he said.
Lalong encouraged the family of Jennifer to remain prayerful and hopeful as nothing was being left to chance to secure her freedom.
In his reaction, UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday condemned the recent killings and abductions in the country and expressed solidarity with the Nigerian government and citizens.
