President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday met behind closed-doors with the nation’s security chiefs at the State House, Abuja.
Announcing the meeting via its Twitter handle, the Presidency wrote, “Security Meeting ongoing, at the State House. President @MBuhari
presiding, Vice President, SGF, NSA, Ministers, Service Chiefs, IGP, Intelligence Chiefs in attendance. #AsoVillaToday #SecuringNigeria.”
Others who attended the meeting were the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha; the Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari; and the National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno.
There were also in attendance, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema; Minister of Defense, Major-General Bashir Salihi Magashi (Retd.) and Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
The meeting may not be unconnected with the armed robbers’ attempted attack on the residence of the Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari, earlier on Monday.
The meeting is believed to have looked into the raging insecurity across the country.
