Out of all the service chiefs only three came to the meeting while the others sent representatives.
The three who attended the meeting were the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, the Comptroller General, Nigeria Immigration Service, Babandede Mohammed and the Director Department of State Services (DSS), Ibrahim Bichi.
Speaking in an angry tone, the Speaker said that, by their absence, the service chiefs have shown disregard to the National Assembly as an institution and an unseriousness on the security challenges facing the country at the moment.
He said that, the .meeting was convened to discuss security issues and strategies.
“I will personally see the president,” the Speaker said.
He later told the gathering that, the meeting will not hold and has been postponed to Monday 10:00 am.

On his part, the Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Idris Wase who was equally angry said that, what the service chiefs did was a big disappointment.
