Minister of Defence, Mohammed Abubakar has described the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Taoreed Lagbaja as a warrior who fought against terrorism in all theatres of war.
The presidency confirmed Lagbaja’s passing on Tuesday night in Lagos after a period of illness.
Born on February 28, 1968, Lt. General Lagbaja was appointed Chief of Army Staff on June 19, 2023, by President Tinubu.
Reacting to the death of Lagbaja, shortly after the cancellation of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting, the Defence Minister said, “It’s really very sad. It’s really tragic. So we are using this opportunity to condole Mr. President over this heavy loss, indeed, his family and the entire Nigeria.
“It’s a great loss for our country. He was a gallant officer, very hard working and has been to all the theatres of war and did commendably well for this country. It’s a very, very, very sad loss.
“He was indeed a warrior. We pray to Allah to receive his soul”
Corroborating Abubakar, the Minister of State, Defence, Bello Matawalle said there he had a cordial working relationship with the late Chief of Army Staff.
His words, “We enjoyed working with him, because, as the Honorable Minister said, he was a gallant officer, and it’s a great loss to this nation. All we can say is to ask God to bless the family, and we urge Nigerians to continue praying for the spirit of Lagbaja.
“We send our condolences to the family of the deceased and Mr President, because it’s a great loss to this nation”.

Violence against women, girls negates principles of natural justice – Yobe govt
The Yobe State government through the Commission of Home Affairs, Information and Culture, Abdullahi Bego, says violence against women and girls in any society negates the principles of natural justice.
Bego, who represented Governor Mai Mala Buni, stated this on Monday at the flag-off of an annual sensitization programme against gender-based violence titled “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence” organised by the State Ministry of Women Affairs, in collaboration with international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and domestic Civil Society Organizations (CBOs).
He noted that part of protecting women and girls against all forms of violence relates to improving their access to education and economic empowerment opportunities, to make them able to cater for their personal needs.
“The idea that women and girls deserve to be protected – and must be protected at all times and under all circumstances (by society and the law) – is an idea grounded in our religious traditions whether, Muslim or Christian. It’s also an idea grounded in common sense”, he said.
This, according to him, was the reason Gov. Buni established seven Government Girls Senior Day Secondary Schools in parts of the State as a means of promoting girl-child education.
He added that in the area of agriculture and empowerment, Buni also ensured women’s inclusion in the distribution of farming equipment and implements and empowerment support items.
“This stems from the governor’s firm belief that there is no society that can achieve greatness without the involvement of women,” he said.
