President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday held a closed-door meeting with the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa (rtd.), at the State House, Abuja, as insecurity escalates across several parts of the country.
Musa, who arrived at the Villa at exactly 7:03 p.m., was escorted into the President’s office wing by a senior security officer. The meeting marks his first public appearance at the Presidential Villa since his retirement by President Tinubu on October 24, 2025.
The Presidency did not disclose the agenda of the discussion, and neither Musa nor State House officials addressed journalists after the meeting.
The visit comes against the backdrop of renewed violent attacks in the North-West and North-Central regions.
In recent days, armed groups abducted schoolgirls in Kebbi State, attacked worshippers in Eruku, Kwara State, and kidnapped Catholic schoolchildren in Minna, Niger State—incidents that have heightened public concern and triggered intensified counter-terrorism and anti-kidnapping operations nationwide.
