The Nigerian Army Headquarters on Tuesday paid a condolence visit to the hometown of the late Chief of Army Staff(COAS), Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja.

The delegate, which consisted of seven Generals, was led by Kamar Ishola Yusuf. They visited Osun Governor, Ademola Adeeke after which they proceeded to Ilobu, hometown of the late COAS, the headquarters of Irepodun local government area of Osun to visit the king, Oba Ashiru Olaniyan and the compound of the Lagbaja.

Speaking at the palace of Olobu, General Yusuf lamented Lagbaja was Nigeria’s star that dimmed too early. He said: “Lt. General Lagbaja led from the front and was courageous. In every division he served, he left indelible achievements.

They are there for everyone to see. This led to his appointment as the COAS. He merited the COAS without political influence.”

The delegate assured that all four community projects started by the deceased would be completed.

Governor Ademola Adeleke and his deputy, Kola Adewusi led other State functionaries, including the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Kazeem Akinleye and other members of the State Executive Council to the palace.

Speaking at Olobu’s palace, Adeleke extolled President Bola Tinubu for approval state burial for Lagbaja, describing it as fitting. He noted that his service to the fatherland would never be forgotten.

According to Adeleke: “I thank Mr President for approving state burial for our late brother. We also appreciate the message from the army representative that ongoing community projects initiated by General Lagbaja at Ilobu, Ifon and Erin Osun would be completed. We will follow up on this.“

Anytime we speak, the late General always called for peace among his people. His message even at death is that the people of Ilobu and Ifon should live in peace and unity.

“Let us honour the memory of our late brother and maintain peace. We cannot afford any bloodshed again. It is time to see each other as one and push for common development of our local government and state.”

Oba Ashiru Olaniyan, Governor Adeleke pleaded with community leaders to ensure the sustenance of peace as a mark of honour for the transition of Lagbaja.
