National security: Buhari, service chiefs hold another closed-door meeting

President Muhammadu Buhari, the service chiefs and heads of other security agencies are meeting right now at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The agenda of the closed-door meeting is unknown, but sources say it is not unconnected with security arrangements for Saturday’s supplementary elections coming up in some states.

Also, a possible issue for discussion is the ongoing killings in Katsina State.

Those sighted going for the meeting were Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Gabriel Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok Ekwe-Ibas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Abubakar Sadique.

Others included the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno; Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan- Ali, Minister of Interior, General Abdulrahman Dambazau, Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Abubakar; acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; and the  Director General of Department for State Service, Yusuf Magaji Bichi.
