Noting that the late Alex Badeh, also a former Chief of Air Staff, attained professional fulfilment in his over three decades military career, President Buhari regretted that he fell victim to the incidence of violent and fatal attacks on the nation’s highways.
He directed security agencies to find the killers 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 prayed that almighty God would comfort all those who mourn him and grant his soul peaceful rest.
