President Goodluck Jonathan and his military chiefs on Thursday undertook an unexpected visit to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
The president and the military high command left for Borno State, the hot bed of Boko Haram insurgency, after attending the Armed Forces Remembrance in Abuja.
A source who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the visit, said Mr. Jonathan and the service chiefs will meet with troops in the north east state.
“The president and the service chiefs left for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport shortly after the ceremony at the National Arcade,” said the source.
“They will be meeting with troops and some community leaders before coming back to Abuja later in the day.”
The Chief of Defense staff, Air Vice Marshall Alex Badeh and National Security adviser, Sambo Dasuki arrived the airport in a separate aircraft.
Governor Kashim Shettima arrived the airport to receive the president
