470

For a second time in a roll, the Service Chiefs and other heads of security agencies after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, have failed to brief on the outcome.

Although the agenda of the meeting was not known at at press time, it may not be unconnected with the security situation in the country as the security heads are expected to present regular briefing to the President being the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigeria Armed Forces.

The acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, until the last two meetings, usually walks into the Council Chambers briefing room to brief on what transpired at the meeting and decisions taken, without prompting from State House Correspondents.

Those in attendance are the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Abubakar Sadique.

Others are, acting IGP, the National Security Adviser, Major Gen. Babagana Monguno; Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan- Ali, Minister of Interior, General Abdulrahaman Dambazau ,Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ahmed Abubakar, acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu and the  Director General of Department for State Service (DSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi.
