President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met again behind closed doors with service chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Thursday’s meeting is the third within the week and it comes amidst deteriorating security situation in some parts of Nigeria, especially in states like Benue, Taraba, Kaduna and Zamfara,
It could be recalled that the president had met with service chiefs on Monday after which the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, and the Director General of the State Security Service (SSS), Lawal Daura, proceeded to meet with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami.
The President also met with the security chiefs on Tuesday after which the Minister of Defence, Mansur Ali, said he made a case for states that passed anti grazing laws to reverse them.
Thursday’s meeting began at about 2:30 p.m and was attended by all heads of security agencies including the Director General of Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar.
The meeting, which was held at the President’s office, lasted just over thirty minutes.
At the end, the attendees declined to comment on the closed door meeting as each of them quickly entered their cars and drove out as fast as possible when journalists rushed toward them.
The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali told State House correspondents that the meeting was to “review the outcome of what we discussed on Tuesday.”
