Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, on Tuesday, convened a high-level security council meeting with heads of security agencies.
The security meeting, which took place at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital, was in response to escalating political tension in the state following the expiration of the tenure of the local government chairmen in the state.
The closed-door session focused on recent disturbances at local government secretariats and the overall security situation in the state.
Addressing reporters after the closed-door meeting, Fubara said the meeting with the security chiefs was to devise effective strategies to prevent further invasions of local government offices.
