President Tinubu disclosed this at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja on Friday during his speech at the burial of the late COAS, who died last week Tuesday after a brief illness.

The President immediately paused and asked the widow of the Late Lieutenant General Lagbaja, Mrs Maria Lagbaja, to come forward to receive the award medal.

LEADERSHIP earlier reports that President Tinubu led a crop of top political-office holders, Security Chiefs, family members and friends of the late Lieutenant General Lagbaja, to bid farewell to the 23rd COAS.

The burial rites, taking place at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja on Friday afternoon, followed a funeral service earlier at the National Christian Centre, which was attended by First Lady, Mrs Remi Tinubu.
