The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, is presently in a meeting with Principal Staff Officers and top army commanders to deliberate on the security situation in the country.

In the meeting which is being held at the Army Headquarters in Abuja commenced at about 10.20am, are the General Officers Commanding of all the divisions of the Nigerian Army, commanders of the various army operations, unit commanders, commander, Guards Brigade, and other top officers.

This against the backdrop of the violence and vandalism in parts of the country as the nation has been gripped by violence in the past one week with some hoodlums attacking and vandalising public and private property.

Aside from residents who looted warehouses where COVID-19 palliatives were kept, hoodlums also looted and destroyed homes and property of individuals, including banks, shopping malls and small stores.
