Among those present were Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa; National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Adeola Ajayi; and the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Olufemi Oluyede.https://360playvid.info/slidepleer/videoIframe.html?fn=s2267s#amp=1
Others at the meeting included the Chief of Army Staff, Waidi Shaibu; Chief of Air Staff, Kelvin Aneke; and Chief of Naval Staff, Idi Abbas.
As of the time this report was filed, the presidency had not released details of the discussions.
However, indications suggest the meeting may be linked to the recent surge in terror attacks and renewed assaults on military installations across the country, especially in the north-east, which have resulted in the deaths of several senior military officers.
On Monday, a commanding officer of the Nigerian Army was killed after suspected fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacked a military base in Kukawa, Borno State.
The incident occurred about a week after suspected Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters attempted to storm military positions in Ngoshe, in Gwoza Local Government Area of the state.
On Tuesday, Nigerian troops also repelled an early-morning assault by suspected ISWAP fighters on a military base in Doron Baga, located in Kukawa LGA of Borno.
