Trump’s Military Threat: Ribadu convenes emergency security meeting
National Security Adviser (NSA) Malam Nuhu Ribadu on Monday held an emergency meeting with service chiefs and heads of security and intelligence agencies at the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Abuja, following reports that U.S. President Donald Trump had ordered preparations for possible military action in Nigeria.
According to security sources, the meeting, which started in the afternoon, was convened to assess the implications of Trump’s comments accusing the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians from Islamist militant groups.
Trump’s statement, made late Saturday, alleged that the U.S. military was being readied “to act in Nigeria to tackle Islamist militancy,” a remark that has sparked serious concern within diplomatic and security circles in Abuja.
Sources said Ribadu summoned the meeting to coordinate a unified national security response and review intelligence reports on the potential consequences of the U.S. president’s declaration.
The outcome of the meeting is expected to be officially communicated through the Office of the National Security Adviser.
