President Muhammadu Buhari is set to hold an emergency meeting with security chiefs in Abuja.

In a statement, presidential media aide, Garba Shehu said the meeting is “to further review and strengthen security network in the country.

The President was initially scheduled to commission the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) new Technology and Innovation Complex, but the event will now hold at a later date.

The statement said the president will receive briefs from the security chiefs, and interject on areas that need more attention.

The meeting is coming amid terror alerts of impending attacks on the Nigerian capital, which led to panic with the US and UK advising their citizens to leave Abuja.

But in the wake of the development, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba insisted that the nation’s capital is safe, and dismissing any threats of attacks.
