Tinubu in closed-meeting with Security Chiefs

President Bola Tinubu is meeting the service chiefs and the Inspector-General of Police at his official residence in the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

PUNCH Online confirmed an influx of vehicles conveying heads of the Armed Forces to Tinubu’s residence this afternoon.

Wednesday’s meeting, which began at minutes past 03:00 p.m., confirms an earlier PUNCH Online’s report about plans by the President to meet with the service chiefs to discuss the rising killings in Plateau, Benue and other parts of the country.

Tinubu returned to Abuja on Monday night after spending 18 days on a working visit and retreat in Paris and London.

Several homes have been burnt, and at least 3,000 persons were displaced despite the deployment of security forces.

In Benue, at least 56 people were killed in Logo and Gbagir after twin assaults blamed on armed herders. Punch
