The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, in a statement, said Buhari also directed that the Police Council meeting earlier scheduled for May 27 be postponed to June 3 in honour of the memory of the Late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and 10 other military officers who died in the Friday’s plane crash in Kaduna.
