The late former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh's wife and children may miss his burial as they remain on the watch list of the Department of State Services and the Nigeria Immigration Service.

Badeh’s widow, Mary Iya Badeh, and his two sons, Alex (jnr) and Kam have been in the United States since 2016 following his prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

According to a report by The Punch, a family friend of the Badehs hinted that it was unlikely if they would come.

He said,

“I have spoken with them and I don’t know for now if they will be coming but it is highly unlikely. Their father has just been killed under controversial circumstances and the government has not removed them from the watch list. If they return and their passports are seized and they are not allowed to return, it would be a double tragedy.

“Everybody is still in shock so we cannot say for now if they will be coming but since they are Christians, there is no rush. A lot can happen before then.”

A prosecution witness, Abubakar Madaki, had told a Federal High Court sitting in Maitama that Badeh’s wife and two of his children were being investigated for offences with which the ex-Chief of Air Staff was charged.

Madaki said the three of them, however, escaped to the United States before the investigation was concluded.

He said all attempts to get them arrested turned out to be futile.

The witness had said,

“At the initial stage, when we started the investigation, we invited Alex Badeh (Jnr.) who lives in 19 Kumasi Crescent, Abuja, one of the properties, among the properties earlier mentioned.

“He happened to be a son of the first defendant (Badeh). He claimed to be a tenant in that property and since an investigation was ongoing at the preliminary stage, we allowed him to go and come back when we had enough issues to question him about.

“He left and never came back. We later got to know that he has left the country for America.

“We were also looking for Mary Iya Badeh, the wife of the first defendant, who is one of the directors in the second defendant (Iyalikam Nigeria Limited).

“The second defendant (Iyalikam) had received so much funds from the alleged funds we are investigating.

“She too, according to the investigation has left the country for America. Kam Badeh (another of Badeh’s son) is one of the directors in one of the companies.

“We have gone round the locations that we had information that he does business, but we are unable to get him.

“Since the information was that they left through the International Airport, we wrote a letter to the Nigerian Immigration Service and the Department of Security Service to watch them. But we have not been able to get them.”

He said when his team concluded investigation in the case, it “discovered that the first defendant (Badeh) and his wife had earlier incorporated a company Iyalikam Nigeria Limited” in whose accounts they allegedly diverted the Nigerian Air Force’s funds.

Why is it that no man enters the highest rank in Nigerian military
Either you are retired or you are killed

Let's see how the Nigerian Terrorist in military uniforms will terrorize and kill locals in the community where Alex Badeh was shot and killed like they did to locals in a Plateau community because of one so call missing northern major general.

Dear Nigerians, follow the case of Alex Baden's assassination bumper to bumper and you will be surprise at the sick hidden agenda against Plateau.

And yes, nobody is talking about his driver and family.

So so pitiful.

Almost 24 hours the Buhari govt has not said anything ...I hope they will send the Army there to drain every pond like they did in plateau

the circumstances surrounding the two are different.

Buhari should come out and tell Nigerians what happened to Badeh. That the immediate past CDS was wasted like a chicken and till this moment no official word from the CiC, leaves much to be desired.

Too bad

He is not the first that will die today the president dont have to say anything. The boss that sent soldier to battle with toy guns. The man showed no remorse to fellow soldiers. Imagine not even bullet prove best and even pay them.

No way una fit escape everything bad thing una don do dis country. No matter ur tribe or religion, karma will find you or ur kids

Very important they remain on the watchlist.

If they love their husband/father more than the stolen military wealth he has bequeathed to them as his legacy, they will come back to pay their last respects and suffer the legal consequences.

If they love stolen military funds more than their thieving breadwinner, they will forsake him the way he forsook his patriotic obligations and accountability to his country and men of the armed forces.


Nigeria, for how long will you allow them rape you while they ensure their families enjoy the best of life and peace abroad?

So the man's family fled abroad.....

OK now.

RIP to the dead

1. "One so call (sic) missing northern major general". This betrays your bigotry. He's no longer missing as his body was found, uncovered by one of his killers

2. No one in the community was killed. The culprits were simply arrested, handed over to the police, and prosecuted. It's not the case of your fellow christian Gen OBJ who wiped out 2 christian communities.

3. Alkali was murdered in Jos by christians, no one retaliated. Badeh, an Adamawa indigene, was killed by so far unknown gunmen. How does that translate to an agenda against plateau?

Idiots like you are the reason Nigeria is going backwards

that s Nigerian for u....we care more for d rich than the poor.....

He was killed with guns but HE HAS KILLED SEVERAL SOLDIERS AND CIVILLIANS THEY WRRE TO SECURE WITH HIS CORRUPT LIFESTYLE. IF D FAMILY COMES FROM USA, THEY SHOULD DETAIN THEM AND COLLECT ALL THEY STOLE.
