Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has revealed what he was told after visiting the home of ACM Alex Badeh (rtd), a former Chief of Defence Staff that was killed earlier in the week.
Fani-Kayode made the disclosure in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Thursday evening.
Badeh was killed along the Abuja-Keffi Road on Tuesday evening, the Nigerian Air Force revealed in a statement.
“It is with a heavy heart that I regretfully announce the unfortunate demise of former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, who died today, 18 Dec 18, from gunshot wounds sustained when his vehicle was attacked while returning from his farm along Abuja-Keffi Road.
“On behalf officers, airmen and airwomen of the Nigerian Air Force, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar, commiserates with the family of the late former Chief of Defence Staff over this irreparable loss. We pray that the Almighty God grants his soul eternal rest,” the Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola said in a statement.
But Fani-Kayode, who took to Twitter, disclosed that a condolence visit to Badeh’s bereaved family proved to him that the four-star general was assassinated.
He said, “Visited the home of Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh to commisserate with his family today.
“Based on all I heard I have no doubt that it was an assasination.
“He actuallly had 4 security men with him when he was murdered. Not one of them was wounded or killed. Seems strange to me!”
