A closed-door meeting is set to take place today, Tuesday, between the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, and all heads of security forces in the country.
Although the agenda remains undisclosed, sources indicate that the meeting will focus on implementing President Bola Tinubu’s crackdown order amidst ongoing protests.
The meeting, scheduled to take place at Defence Headquarters, will be attended by prominent figures, including heads of intelligence agencies such as DSS, NIA, DIA, and the Inspector-General of Police.
Additionally, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja; the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla; and the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, will be present.
Heads of Correctional Services, Immigration, Customs, NSCDC, and other paramilitary organisations have also been invited.
“The meeting will start at any moment from now. It is a strategic meeting on the implementation of the order given by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,” a security source said.
This development comes after President Tinubu cancelled the Federal Executive Council meeting on Monday and summoned all Service Chiefs to discuss the escalating protests and the appearance of Russian flags in major cities like Kano and Kaduna.
There have also been concerns about foreign influence in the protests.
The police have arrested several individuals in connection with the spread of Russian flags.
