President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday, April 13, held a high-level security meeting with the nation’s top military, police and intelligence chiefs at the State House amid growing concerns over the country’s worsening security situation.

The closed-door session brought together the Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede; Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Waidi Shaibu; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Anele.

Also in attendance were the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Oluwatosin Ajayi; Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Mohammed Mohammed; and Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu.

The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, was also present alongside other senior security officials.

The emergency security talks come at a tense moment following renewed attacks in parts of the country and public outrage over a controversial Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Yobe State which reportedly claimed the lives of more than 20 civilians.

The outcome of the meeting is expected to shape the Federal Government’s next response to the country’s security challenges.
