President Bola Tinubu is currently holding a high-level meeting with the service chiefs at the State House.

Among those in attendance are Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff; Olufemi Oluyede, chief of army staff; Emmanuel Ogalla, chief of naval staff; Hassan Abubakar, chief of air staff; and Kayode Egbetokun, inspector-general of police.

Also present are Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser; Oluwatosin Ajayi, director-general of the State Security Service; and Muhammed Muhammed, director-general of the National Intelligence Agency.

While the specific agenda has not been disclosed, Tinubu regularly meets with service chiefs to assess the country’s security situation.

Separately, Godswill Akpabio, president of the senate; Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house of representatives; Benjamin Kalu, the deputy speaker; and Opeyemi Bamidele, senate majority leader, were also seen arriving at the villa.

It remains unclear whether the national assembly leaders are part of the security meeting.
