President Mohammadu Buhari has ordered security agencies to find people who killed a former Chief of Air Defence Staff, Air vice Marshal Alex Badeh.
According to a statement by the Presidency, Badeh’s death is unfortunate and must be conclusively investigated.
The statement reads, “The President commiserates with the family of the late four-star general, his friends and professional colleagues in the military, and the people and government of Adamawa State.
“Noting that the late Badeh, who was also a former Chief of Air Staff, attained professional fulfilment in his over three decades military career, President Buhari regrets that he fell victim to incidence of violent and fatal attacks on the nation’s highways.
“He directs security agencies to find the killers of the 15th Chief of Defence Staff and bring them to face the full force of the law, while ensuring greater security and safety for all users of the country’s roads. The President prays that God Almighty comforts all those who mourn Air Chief Marshal Badeh and grant his soul peaceful rest.”
Meanwhile, the People Democratic Party has challenged the APC government to produce the assassins.
Describing Badeh as a fine and patriotic officer, it noted that his death had heightened the insecurity in the country
