President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the military top-shots to ensure that nothing is allowed to stop the November 6 Anambra governorship election from holding.

The president said this when he presided over a meeting with the service chiefs at the presidential villa in Abuja.

The meeting was attended by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Secretary to the government of the federation, Boss Mustapha, minister of defense, Bashir Magashi, and chief of defense staff, Lucky Irabor among others.

National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno said President Buhari gave the order in response to the heightened security challenges in Anambra.

Monguno and the Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, spoke to newsmen after the meeting.

Monguno also said another leader of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), Malam Bako, has been killed.

According to him, Bako was killed two days ago.
