President Muhammadu Buhari is currently holding a meeting with service chiefs at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The service chiefs, led by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, arrived at the seat of power in the early hours of Thursday and proceeded to the Council Chambers.

President Buhari, who joined the security heads at the meeting immediately, went into a closed session.

The service chiefs are expected to brief State House Correspondents at the end of the meeting.

Nigeria has witnessed increased banditry attacks in recent days and the security meeting is expected to find lasting solutions to the problem.
