President Muhammadu Buhari
has described the killing of a former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal
Alex Badeh (rtd) as “very sad and unfortunate” and has ordered that his killers
be fished out.
In a statement by his
spokesperson, Femi Adesina, Mr Buhari commiserated 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 Mr
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,” Mr Adesina said.
