President Muhammadu Buhari received President of Chad’s Transitional Military Council, General Mahamat Idriss Deby, in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

General Deby arrived at the Presidential Villa at around 11am.

Although, the agenda of the meeting was yet to be disclosed rumours have it that his coming might be connected to the needs for countries sharing boundaries in the Sahel region to find a permanent solution to the menace of terrorism and arms proliferation threatening the peace and security of the region.

Mahamat Deby recently took over reins of leadership after his father and former President of Chad, Marshal Idris Deby Itno, died of wounds sustained in battle with rebels in April.
