President Tinubu Meets Security Chiefs at Villa over Rising Insecurity

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently in a security meeting with service chiefs and other heads of security agencies at the State House, Abuja.

The ongoing meeting is coming on the heels of renewed security breaches in some parts of the country, especially in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where kidnappers have wrecked some heinous brutality in the last few days.

At the ongoing meeting, are the Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa; Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogala; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar; the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun; and head of some other security outfits.

Although there has been no official briefing on the meeting, it is believed that President Tinubu and his security chiefs will be reviewing the recent security situation in parts of the country, proposing ways of taming rising free reign of criminals, including kidnappers and bandits.

The meeting is also coming a few hours after the Minister of the FCT, Chief Nyesom Wike, convened his security appraisal meeting over the horrors unleashed on residents of the seat of power by kidnappers, who have resorted to mindless killing and demands for heavy ransoms from victims.
