Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa (Rtd), has summoned all Service Chiefs to a crucial meeting at the Ministry of Defence Headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, following a surge of attacks on military bases in the North East.
Attending the meeting are the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Waidi Shaibu, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abass, as well as representatives from the National Intelligence Agency.
According to Daily Trust, at least three Commanding Officers at the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel were recently killed by terrorists in Borno. In addition, numerous soldiers lost their lives, and hundreds of civilians remain in captivity after abductions.
Speaking ahead of the closed-door meeting, Gen. Musa stated that the government is reviewing strategies to intensify operations against terrorists. “We know we have recorded some casualties, but the impact is greater on the side of the terrorists,” the retired four-star general said.
