Bali’s death was announced on Saturday.

 The ACF in the statement said it received with sadness, news of the death of General Domkat Bali, describing him as General who was noted for keeping his head cool when others lost theirs over such issues of rank, wealth and political power.

The statement read in part: “Even when the military dabbled into politics and much of military traditions were abused, he kept calm and thus maintained stability in the military and the polity. He fought on the Federal side during the civil war to keep Nigeria one in the 60s, holding many command positions with distinction.

According to the ACF, late General Bali had upon retirement, heeded to the call of his people to be their traditional ruler and was unanimously elected as the Ponzhi Tarok in 2010.
