Tinubu Meets Service Chiefs Over Rising Insecurity

Former Lagos State Governor, Tinubu, convened an emergency meeting with top military officials, including General Christoph Musa, who was recently appointed Minister of Defence. The meeting, held at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja, aimed to address the escalating security challenges in Nigeria, notably the abduction of 115 students in Niger State.

Tinubu's call for a national security emergency and the subsequent deployment of Nigerian troops to Benin Republic following a coup attempt in a neighboring country were discussed. The meeting, attended by key security chiefs, occurred shortly after the resignation of Defence Minister Moham Badaru.

The specific details of the discussions remain undisclosed.
