The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, is reportedly in a closed-door meeting with service chiefs and heads of security and intelligence agencies in Abuja.
At the time this report was filed, the closed-door meeting’s agenda was unknown.
The meeting comes after US President Donald Trump gave the warning to prepare for potential military action in Nigeria.
According to the US president, if the purported genocide against Christians was not halted, the US President threatened to send military troops to Nigeria.
Trump instructed the “Department of War” to get ready for “possible action” in the event that the killings persisted in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday.
Trump futher warned that the United States would discontinue all aid and assistance to Nigeria if President Bola Tinubu’s administration failed to end the alleged persecution and killing of Christians.
“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now-disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians,” he wrote.
Following the meeting, Nuhu Ribadu is expected to debrief top media executives and newspaper editors.
Meanwhile, the National Orientation Agency’s Director-General, Lanre Issa-Onilu, earlier told newsmen that the security chiefs and the NSA, Nuhu Ribadu would speak to the media about the danger from the United States President.
According to him, the briefing will “provide adequate response to the allegations of genocide and update the media on ongoing government efforts to contain insecurity and other vices.”
