Jonathan meets security chiefs

President Goodluck Jonathan is currently meeting security chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja in his bid to end the violence being experienced in some parts of the country. The meeting which started a few minutes ago may consider the report of the committee the President set up about two weeks ago to look at the clamour for amnesty for members of the violent Islamic sect and its feasibility.
