Gen Babangida Commiserates With Nigerians Over Lagbaja’s Demise

Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has commiserated with the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the death of Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja.

He said the death, especially at that point in his life and career, was not only a profound loss to his immediate family but to the country as a whole.

The former Nigerian leader said, “He was a fine officer and a dedicated leader of men whose sense of patriotism was exemplary.

“His vigorous effort at the frontline of the war to end banditry and insurgency has already borne good fruits, and, unfortunately, he would not be around to see it through”, IBB declared.

He said his heart goes out to his beloved family, officers and men, and the country that has once again lost a gallant army chief, one in the fine tradition of his brilliant predecessors.
