The senator representing Benue South Senatorial District and Senate Minority Leader, Comrade Abba Patrick Moro PhD, on behalf of the senate minority caucus, mourns the demise of the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt.

Lagbaja died on Wednesday after a brief illness.

Senator Moro describes the late COAS as a gallant and successful officer who gave his all to the country and died in active service.

The Senate Minority Leader says Gen. Lagbaja’s time as Chief of Army Staff saw a great push against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping that are plaguing the country.

Senator Moro extends his heartfelt condolences to the wife of the deceased, Mrs Mariya Abiodun Lagbaja, the entire family, the President and Commander-In-Chief of armed forces, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Nigerian Army. He charges them to be consoled with the knowledge that the late General lived an impactful life and has gone to rest with his creator.
