NSA, Service Chiefs Meet Over Planned U.S. Military Action Against Nigeria

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, on Monday held a high-level meeting with service chiefs and heads of security and intelligence agencies in Abuja following U.S. President Donald Trump’s declaration of possible military action against Nigeria over alleged killings of Christians. According to sources, the emergency meeting — which took place at the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) — was convened to coordinate a national security response and assess the implications of the U.S. president’s statement. The outcome of the deliberation, sources said, would be communicated through official channels from the NSA’s office.

Senior Lawyer Agbakoba Backs Tinubu’s Removal of Service Chiefs

A prominent lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has publicly supported President Bola Tinubu's decision to replace the country's service chiefs. In an interview on Channels Television, Agbakoba described the president's move as "wise and timely." This endorsement comes amidst public rumors of a suspected coup plot, though the military has denied these claims. President Tinubu announced a major reshuffle in the military's top leadership on Friday. The changes are part of an effort to strengthen Nigeria's security architecture. Agbakoba, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), praised President Tinubu's decisiveness.
