The immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh's friend released by the killers just days after he was abducted while Badeh was assassinated.

It was learnt that Alex Badeh’s friend was released after his family paid a ransom running into millions of naira, The Punch reports.

The police had said in a statement last week that,

“The former CDS suffered gunshot injury which resulted to his death, while his driver was injured and Badeh’s friend abducted.”

It was learnt that authorities are working on the theory that Badeh’s murder may have been an abduction gone wrong as the friend was released after a ransom was paid.

It was further learnt that there had been two of such incidents along the Keffi-Abuja Expressway before Badeh’s murder in the last one month.

However, sources within the Nigerian Air Force revealed that there would be a joint briefing with the police and the air force immediately after the Christmas break.

“While investigations were on, the family of Badeh’s friend paid a ransom to ensure his release. However, we have continued with the investigation and we have made progress. We will inform members of the public after the Christmas break,” an air force officer said.

The four-star general was killed on the evening of December 18, 2018, while returning from his farm.

His Tundra Toyota truck was riddled with bullets piercing the windscreen and killing him instantly.

Out of the three occupants of the vehicle, however, Badeh was the only one that was killed thereby fueling speculations that he was assassinated.

Seriously FTC again! Another bottle of Hennessey for myself wink wink!

More revalation,I am waiting for more b4 making my own conclusion.

But come to think of it,if it was an assassination both the driver and the friend would have been killed to avoid witnesses.

What benefit would Bade's killing be to the present government?

They said Bade knows too much... well if he knows too much,it would have been about the past government he worked for and not of the government in power he didn't /never worked for.

Bade is hardly/never a threat to the current government,he barely even oppose the government. so y kill him,when the likes of Saraki,dino,ffk,reno and the other guys tormenting the hell out of the governments lives are walking freely.

Like I said,I'm yet to reach a conclusion until I hear Bade's friend side of the story. And trust me,I am patiently waiting.

Thank GOD for the good news, but the story is still somehow nothing shows that Badeh tried to attack them when they were to be abducted that made them kill him. if they are actual kidnappers and not hired assassins they will prefer to abduct Badeh than other person in the car because they will generate more money from his people, his stature would have sold him out that he is a big man.

Oga o

diff tori.One version, Amu Roba,kidnappers, ritualist.Soon,we go hear as he wan scale fence..This is Pure Assassination .Nonsense

1 don't understand what is happening to me these days I don't get too much likes & comments on my posts. It's as if someone has tempered with my calabash in the village!!!! Can I get some likes to Shame my village people?

Trying to make it look like a case of "kidnapping gone wrong"... But the lie will not stand.

We all know it is a pure case of assassination.

But who cares

The fat belly Defense Chief did our country evil.

All our corrupt leaders must die. .. anywhich way!

okay

Kidnaappers and robbers with no remorse

Should not be hard to follow the money....though it won't have been paid through the banks.

Police should also debrief the friend. Maybe something in his memory should lead to the killers.

I don't like Badeh, he was corrupt...but he did not deserve to be murdered. His murderers must be caught to prevent them from harming other people.

The cabal in Asorock should be investigated

good

Bad market

Set up..

Musa's gist of armed robbery didn't stick, they had to spin another story.

There were 4 people in the car and none was hurt according to the family.

Further confirmation that it was an assassination.

Something is definitely wrong somewhere. Government knows about his death

This might not be assassination they way people are thinking. The kidnappers thought Badeh's friend at the back seat is the main oga. Or maybe it's definitely an assassination and a planned script.

It must have been an assasination! Kidnappers would have prefered having the big fish alive!

Fulani criminals

Confirmed! Badeh's killing was a clear case of political assassination disguised as a robbery incident.

I've reiterated several times, it's absolutely possible Badeh was just a victim of coincidence and the awful security in that axis!
FFK and Reno should pls stop politicizing the death of this man, they shouldn't rope him in their web of lies and propaganda.

Let him go and meet his creator in peace for judgement.

APC dramas

So u guys saying it was all stage to look like a case of kidnapping gone wrong, una want make dem kill d friend too b4 una gree sai na pure assassination ba?
