President Bola Tinubu holds a closed-door meeting with Nigeria’s security chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja to review the country’s worsening security situation. All reports describe the discussion as a comprehensive assessment of security conditions across multiple “theatres of operation.” The meeting includes senior leadership from the security and intelligence apparatus and the armed forces. Those reported in attendance include the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar; the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa; the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede; and the Chief of Defence Intelligence, Lieutenant General Emmanuel Undiandeye. Intelligence and policing officials also attend, including the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Adeola Ajayi; the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Mohammed Mohammed; and the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunde Disu. Additional participants reported include the Special Adviser to the President on Homeland Security, Major General Adeyinka Famadewa (retd), and representatives from other security agencies. One outlet also links the meeting to recent military action in Zamfara and Katsina, where troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, supported by air assets, disrupted what the military describes as a planned terrorist offensive.
