President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, met with service chiefs and other heads of security agencies at the State House, Abuja, over rising insecurity.

This development follows recent security lapses in various regions of the country, particularly in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where kidnappers have perpetrated severe acts of brutality in the past few days.

At the meeting were the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa; Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogala; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Abubakar; the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun; and the heads of some other security outfits.

While there has been no official briefing on the meeting yet, it is presumed that President Tinubu and the security chiefs will examine the recent security situation in different parts of the country and devise strategies to curb the increasing impunity of criminals, including kidnappers and bandits.

Recall Vanguard reported that earlier on Tuesday, the Federal Capital Territory FCT Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, summoned an emergency security meeting in the wake of the increasing wave of kidnapping by bandits in Bwari Area Council and some other parts of the territory.
