Alex Badeh: How Killers Plotted His Death

Alex Badeh killers have revealed how they plotted the death of the ex-Chief of Defence Staff, Abuja-Keffi Expressway.

Badeh was assassinated on December 18, 2018, along Abuja-Keffi
Expressway by some gunmen on the way from his farm. Badeh’s driver was
also shot and his friend, who was also in the vehicle, was kidnapped by
the gang.

One of the five suspected killers of the ex-Chief of
Defence Staff, Air Vice Marshal Alex Badeh, has revealed his role in the
murder.

The suspect, 25-year-old Shuaibu Rabi, a native of Bade
area of Kaduna State, said he got N25,000 out of the money they stole
from the late Badeh’s car.

Detectives from the Inspector General
of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) have revealed that the
killers of the former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Vice-Marshal Alex
Badeh, used a Dane gun.

The arrested suspects had confessed to
killing the retired military officer in order to dispossess him of money
he supposedly wanted to use to buy farmland in the Panda area of
Nasarawa State.

Rabi,
Yahaha, Maube, Aliyu Usman, aka Ciroma, and Ibrahim Abdulahi have been
arrested by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence
Response Team, in relation to the crime.

Confessing on how they planned the attack on Alex Badeh, Ciroma said:

“There
was a day I went to meet a man called Maube, who lives in Kare, close
to Panda area of Nasarawa State. He told me that there was a rich man
who had a farm in his area and he would need some boys to rob the man.
“I contacted one Shuiabu who I met in Gitata Market and told him about
the plan and he got interested and brought in his brother, Yahaya. “I
took their numbers, and three days later, Maube called me and said that
the rich man was in his farm on that day, saying that I should call my
boys. I called Shuiabu and told him that the man was on ground and
Shuiabu brought two persons: Yahaya and Baso.

“They met me at
Gitata and Maube called me and said that the rich man had left the farm
and was driving through Panda Road. Maube took a motorcycle and followed
the rich man behind while I and six others, namely Alhaji Lamido,
Galma, Rabo, Shuiabu, Yahaya and Baso, waited for the man at Zomgo area
of the state, close to Buratai’s farm. “Then Abdulahi, who was carrying
Alhaji Maube on his bike, brought two guns to us and pointed the vehicle
to us, and we came outside and waylaid it. “We had four Ak-47 rifles in
that operation. I brought two Ak-47 rifles and a single-barrel Dane
gun. I got one of the Ak-47 rifles from a friend known as Rontumi and
another from Rugumi.

The Dane gun belongs to me, and we entered
the road and blocked the man’s convoy. I don’t know who among us fired
the shot that killed him because three persons fired. “I went to the
man’s car, opened it and found money in it. I gave the money to Ibrahim
Abdulahi and asked him to give the money to Maube. It was the next day
that we knew that the person we killed was a four-star general. I don’t
know the amount that was in that bag because it was with Maube.”
