The driver, who was wounded in the attack that led to the killing of
former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, is
alive and recuperating as investigation into the incident is
substantially progressing.

” ….. the driver is alive and
recuperating extremely well at one of our Nigeria Air Froce Hospitals,’’
the Director of Public Relations and Information of Nigeria Air Force
(NAF), Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, confirmed.

Daramola said
some of the reports erroneously stated that the driver of the late
former CDS, who was also shot during the incident, was dead.

He appealed to those spreading misinformation about the unfortunate incident that led to the death of Badeh to stop.

He
said spreading of erroneous reports and comments in the media on the
incident could have adverse effects on the conduct of ongoing
operations.

He noted that other reports alleged that adequate security was not provided for the deceased Air Chief Marshal.

The NAF stated that nothing could be further from the truth.


Air Chief Marshal Badeh has always been provided with the full
complement of personal staff and security personnel commensurate with
his status as a former Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), CDS and a 4-star
general in the Armed Forces of Nigeria,” he said.

NAF stated that
substantial progress had already been made in the investigation and
details would be communicated at the appropriate time.

” As
mentioned by the CAS, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on Dec. 19, the NAF
is working closely with other relevant security agencies to determine
the circumstances surrounding the death of the former CDS.

“This is with a view to ensuring that the perpetrators of the heinous act are brought to justice.


Substantial progress has already been made in the ongoing investigation
and details would be communicated at the appropriate time.

” The
NAF wishes to request that the spreading of misinformation about the
incident should stop forthwith as this could have adverse effects on the
conduct of ongoing operations,” NAF stated.

The news agency of
Nigeria confirmed Badeh died from gunshot injuries sustained when his
vehicle was attacked while returning from his farm on Abuja-Keffi road
on Tuesday.
