President Muhammadu Buhari has had a meeting with service chiefs and Inspector-General of Police on Monday, but no official word was issued by the Presidency.
\nThose at the meeting include the Chief of Defence of Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant Tukur Yusuf Buratai; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar and Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammad Adamu.
\nThe meeting comes amid rising calls for the removal of the chiefs by a broad spectrum of Nigerians, and a bitter rivalry between the President’s National Security Adviser, General Mohammed Monguno; and Chief of Staff, Mallam Abba Kyari.
\nIn leaked letters, Monguno advised service chiefs to stop taking orders from Kyari, suggesting that his meddlesomeness was worsening the fight against insurgency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
