President Muhammadu Buhari, is currently presiding over a security briefing at the State House, Abuja, Fresh Angle International can report.
Though details of the briefing was still unknown as at the time of this report, but it may not be unconnected with a video released by Islamic State on Dec. 26, which claims to show the killing of 11 Christian hostages in northern Nigeria.

The video threatened to spark religious tensions in the country and compounds the political problems of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Islamic State sub-group called Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, said the “beheading” of the hostages was part of its campaign to “avenge” the killing of IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a US military raid in Syria last October.
In a bid to ward off talk of religious disputes getting widespread, President Buhari said Nigerians shouldn’t allow terrorists split the populace along religious lines. “We should, under no circumstance, let the terrorists divide us by turning Christians against Muslims because these barbaric killers don’t represent Islam and millions of other law-abiding Muslims around the world,” he said in a statement.
