President Bola Tinubu convened a meeting with service chiefs and other high-ranking officials from security agencies at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday.
The service chiefs, including the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Christopher Musa, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt-General Taoreed Lagbaja, Chief of Air Staff (CAS) Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar, and Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, had arrived earlier and awaited the President’s arrival from an external State House function.
