Abubakar also revealed that the council evaluated the current strategy of managing internal security operations across the country.
He said: “The council also decided that the unfortunate incidents in Taraba State in Ibi, a committee will be setup under the defence headquarters, to critically look into the circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident.

The Nigeria Police Force had on Wednesday, accused some unidentified soldiers of shooting to death three police officers and a civilian along the Ibi-Jalingo Road, Taraba State, when they were taking an arrested suspect, Alhaji Hamisu to the command headquarters in Jalingo.
However, the Army spokesperson, Col. Sagir Musa, countered the police claims stating that the policemen allegedly refused to stop at a military checkpoint, and were trailed and shot dead by troops who had earlier received a distress call.
