When reporters turned to the IG , the police chief too kept sealed lips .
He merely said there would be no formal briefing on any issues .

But the reports gather learnt that aside from security arrangements for Saturday ’ s polls and the general security situation in the country, the meeting also looked into the raging violence in Kaduna State.

Apart from Buhari and the IG , other security chiefs who attended the meeting were the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen . Gabriel Olonisakin ; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok Ekwe – Ibas; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Abubakar Sadique.
