Security Issues: Tinubu Engages Service Chiefs, IG of Police, Top Lawmakers In Meeting At Aso Rock
President Bola Tinubu is having a closed door meeting with his service chiefs, including the Inspector-General of Police and other top security personnel currently serving in the administration at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
Those privy to the meeting revealed that it is meant to review security situation in the country and make recommendations where necessary.
President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu as well as Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, were spotted at the meeting.
Also in attendance are the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Directors General of the State Security Service, Mr Adeola Ajayi and the National Intelligence Agency, Mohammed Mohammed.
Sources said the meeting may not be unconnected to the seeming national embarrassment caused by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan when she beat protocol to address the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in New York.
She also granted an interview to the BBC, as in both cases, she argued that her suspension from the Nigerian Senate for 6-months followed her refusal to cave in to the sexual advances of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Sources also linked the meeting to uncertainties in Rivers State, where an explosion rocked a section of the Trans-Niger Pipeline in Bodo Community in Gonna Local Government Area of the State.
Recall that while the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike and the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara trade words over who is in charge of the state, the Ijaw community have threatened to cause unrest should Fubara be impeached.
