Taraba state governor, Dr Agbu Kefas, has described the death of Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lt. General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja, as a terrible development and a sad one.
He said the death is a personal one to him given his unique relationship with the late COAS.
In a statement by the Governor’s
Special Adviser on Media and Digital Communication, Hon. Emmanuel Bello, Kefas said the death is unfortunate, especially now that the military expertise of General Lagbaja is needed.
According to the statement, “Late COAS was a dedicated worker who gave himself to the duty at hand. General Lagbaja died in active service. A very principled man, Lagbaja remains a model of discipline, honesty and transparency.
“Late Lagbaja was an encyclopedia of military knowledge. In a very short time, General Lagbaja was able to strengthen professionalism in the operation of the military”, the statement added.
