President Muhammadu Buhari has again summoned the service chiefs to an emergency security meeting which will hold on Thursday, amidst impeachment threats by senators of opposition parties.
Femi Adesina, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, disclosed this on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The meeting comes two days after the Presidential Brigade Guards came under attack by terrorists.
“Tomorrow the President has summoned another security meeting with the heads of the security agencies,” Adesina said.
Troops of the 7 Guards Brigade which provides security for the Presidential Villa and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) were ambushed in the late hours of Monday while on patrol along the Kubwa-Bwari Road in the nation’s capital.
The situation, which led to the death of three soldiers, forced the authorities to close down academic institutions in the FCT.
Two days after the incident, senators from opposition parties issued a six-week ultimatum to President Buhari to tackle the security challenges bedeviling the country.
Briefing reporters after plenary on Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader, Senator Phillip Aduda, also threatened to commence impeachment proceedings against the President should he fail to address the insecurity within the period given by the lawmakers.
