Top-Secret Intel Revealed: What Tinubu Told Security Chiefs Behind Closed Doors

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday expressed serious concern over the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria, firmly telling National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and other top security officials that “enough is enough.”

Speaking during a closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu urged the security chiefs to act swiftly and decisively to curb the rising wave of violence across the nation.

Following the meeting, NSA Ribadu addressed State House correspondents, assuring the public that the President’s orders were clear and that security agencies had already begun implementing new strategies to confront the crisis.

Ribadu noted that, despite ongoing challenges, the security environment has been gradually improving, crediting recent operations aimed at tackling violent incidents and restoring law and order.

He highlighted that a significant number of the casualties stemmed from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) planted by terrorists, emphasizing that terrorism remains a major contributor to the violence.

Ribadu added that President Tinubu had issued firm directives to all heads of security agencies to end the bloodshed and bring stability back to affected regions.

“Mr. President gave us ample time for a thorough briefing,” Ribadu said. “Even while he was away, he remained fully engaged—giving instructions and monitoring developments. Today, we had the opportunity to brief him in detail, from A to Z, on the situation.”

He continued, “We received fresh directives and renewed encouragement. The President is committed to securing Nigeria and is working tirelessly to ensure peace and stability. We assured him that work is actively ongoing.”
