Goodluck Summon Emergency Security Meeting Over Borno Attack

President Goodluck Jonathan  yesterday summoned the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.);   the Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ola Ibrahim, and the service chiefs to an emergency meeting.

It was gathered  that Jonathan summoned the NSO, the CDS,  the  Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice-Marshal Alex Badeh ; and the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubike Ihejirika, to give  him  detailed information on the  incident in Maiduguri where Boko Haram insurgents attacked several military facilities, Airport and other areas inhabited by civilians.



No statement was issued after the closed-door meeting that took place just as the Borno State Government imposed a 24-hour curfew on the city.

Badeh under whose territory the attack occurred told State House correspondents  in Abuja that only the CDS could talk on behalf of all the service chiefs.

When approached, Ibrahim simply said, "It (the situation) is being managed" as he briskly walked into his car.
