EndSARS protest: Buhari, Obasanjo, Jonathan, Abdulsalami, others meet -

Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, is currently meeting with some former Nigerian leaders, reports say.

Although the agenda of the meeting is not made public, issues bordering on the current security situation in the country are believed to top the agenda.

While Buhari is presiding from the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, some former Nigerian leaders are participating virtually, according to Punch.

Those participating virtually include General Yakubu Gowon (retd.); former President Olusegun Obasanjo; Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd.); former President Goodluck Jonathan and Chief Ernest Shonekan.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo;  National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (retd.); Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olanisakin; Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; Director-General, Department of State Services, Yusuf Bichi; and Director-General, National Intelligence Agency, Ahmed Rufai, among others are attending with the President.

It will be recalled that since the shooting and killing of some of the #EndSARS protesters at Lekki toll gate in Lagos on Tuesday, there have been repeated violent demonstrations and arson in the Nigerian cities.
