Following the recent attacks on different military bases in the North East, the Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa (Rtd), has summoned all the Service Chiefs to his office for a crucial meeting.

Others include the Chief of Air Staff, Sunday Aneke, an Air Marshal; Chief of Naval Staff, Idi Abass, a Vice Admiral; representatives of National Intelligence Agency among others.
This is coming after three Commanding Officers who were on the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel were recently killed by terrorists in Borno.
