President-Goodluck-JonathanPresident Goodluck Jonathan yesterday met with security chiefs behind closed doors to review the security situation in the country.

The meeting at the Presidential Villa, which lasted for some hours, was attended by Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim; the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika; Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Alex Badeh and the Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba. Jonathan had on June 10 met with the security chiefs to discuss the issues which border on national security.

 

After yesterday’s meeting, the security chiefs declined to speak with State House Correspondents on their decision, but it was gathered that the meeting was to review efforts and progress made so far in curtailing the menace of the deadly Boko Haram sect. The Federal Government had recently said it struck a peace deal with the Boko Haram sect to hold fire, particularly during this Ramadan period.

The Minister of Special Duties and Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North, Alhaji Tanimu Turaki, had on July 10 disclosed that with the discussion held with the members of Boko Haram, there was no basis for the sect to back out of the ceasefire agreement.

But the leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau, came out to deny that there was any peace deal with the Federal Government, saying that the sect would not stop killing.
