In a message posted on the Twitter handle, @NGRPresident, the Presidency said the security chiefs briefed Buhari on intelligence gathering and law enforcement efforts across the country.
“Security meeting today, presided over by President @MBuhari. NSA, Service Chiefs, Intelligence Chiefs, IGP in attendance.
“President briefed on Intelligence-gathering and law enforcement efforts across the country, by the various agencies,” the message reads.
The meeting came at a time that there is growing concern over increasing killings by people suspected to be Fulani herdsmen across the country.
It would be recalled that Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had in a statement released on Tuesday highlighted the killings as one of the issues the present administration had failed to address headlong.
