Tinubu meets service chiefs in Presidential Villa

President Bola Tinubu is currently engaged in a confidential session with service chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

While the specific agenda of the meeting remains undisclosed, it is reported that the president has convened the security chiefs to address the escalating incidents of banditry attacks within the nation’s capital.

On January 5, assailants targeted a community in the Bwari area council of Abuja, resulting in the abduction of ten individuals, including a family of six sisters. Tragically, on Sunday, one of the sisters, Nabeeha, was reportedly killed by the abductors, purportedly as a warning to the family for their alleged failure to meet a ransom demand of N60 million.

In response to these developments, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, recently conducted a meeting with the heads of security agencies in Abuja.
