President Bola Ahmed Tinubu convened a confidential meeting with Nigeria’s top security chiefs on Friday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, signaling heightened concern over the country’s escalating security challenges.
Though details of the closed-door discussions have yet to be officially disclosed, the presence of senior military and police officials suggests a focused dialogue on recent nationwide security breaches, including reported assaults on military installations and worsening instability in various regions.
In attendance were Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar; and Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
The meeting follows a wave of attacks and kidnappings that have sparked concern among citizens and security analysts alike, prompting expectations of a coordinated federal response to restore order and public confidence.
While no formal statement has been released regarding the outcome of the session, sources close to the presidency suggest the dialogue likely focused on operational reviews, intelligence coordination, and urgent measures to counter violent threats across the country.
President Tinubu has in recent weeks reiterated his administration’s commitment to confronting insecurity head-on, pledging that no part of Nigeria will be surrendered to criminal groups or insurgents.
Further information is expected once official channels provide updates on the decisions or strategies emerging from the high-level deliberations.
