President Bola Tinubu is currently holding a closed-door meeting with the Service Chiefs at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.
DAILY POST reports that this is Tinubu’s first meeting with the military high command since he swore in General Christopher Musa (retd) as the new Minister of Defence on December 4.
The meeting comes as 115 students kidnapped from a Catholic boarding school in November remain in captivity.
Recall that on November 26, Tinubu declared a national security emergency and ordered fresh recruitment into the security agencies. He also directed the withdrawal of all police personnel attached to VIPs.
The meeting also comes days after Nigeria’s Senate approved Tinubu’s request to deploy troops to the Republic of Benin following an attempted coup in the neighbouring country.
As at the time of filing this report, details of the meeting remain unknown.
