The late Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General TAOREED LAGBAJA will be laid to rest today.

The Nigerian Airforce plane NAF 918 carrying the body of the late COAS landed at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, at around 12:15pm.

The remains of the late COAS left the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos around 11am yesterday and landed in Abuja, where he will be buried.

Upon arrival at the Abuja airport, a guard of honor was accorded to the body of the late COAS which will be interned at the national military cemetery Abuja.

Late LAGBAJA’s death was announced last week by President BOLA TINUBU, who was said to have passed on as a result of a brief illness.
