Former Chairman, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Maj. General Musa Bamaiyi (retd) is dead. He was aged 58.
Bamaiyi died in Zuru, his country home in Kebbi State on Tuesday.

The cause of the former NDLEA boss death is not immediately known, but Daily Sun gathered that he had a history of diabetes. Bamaiyi was,however, believed to have taken ill for long as he was seen driving a car with his wife about 72 hours before his death.

His remains have been buried in his country home on Tuesday evening.
Gen. Bamaiyi was appointed the fourth chairman of NDLEA by the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha.

His headship of the drug agency marked a turning point in the fight against drug trafficking as many drug barons were put out of business.

Bamaiyi also headed the Armed Forces Resettlement Centre, Oshodi Lagos. He was brigade commander of 31 Brigade, Makurdi and acting governor of Benue State in 1984.
Reacting to the death, Bamaiyi’s close friend, Senator Joseph Waku, described the sad event as shocking.
Waku described Bamaiyi as a sociable, but a tough military officer. He prayed for the repose of the deceased’s soul.

Isn't Bamaiyi the soldier who arrested Fela Ransome Kuti for smoking his usual joint, and then "paraded" and humiliated the renowned Afro Beat musician on TV like a convicted mass murderer ?

Congratulations! he is going to meet his former boss(Abacha) for their continuation of military terror overthere

I think he is the same man, he was in charge of the Ndlea back then

may his soul rest in peace, amen.

Evil that men does will trail them to their grave.  I wonder if he led a wonderful life, but we remember him as  the man that put FELA in jail for smoking IGBO

bully and terror was his game,he thought he will live forever. a beg make he dey jare

make him dey go jare,i mean to say

If you are not involved in hard drugs then I wonder why you will have harsh words for Bamaiyi when his job was to stop those involved in illegal drug trafficking.

Sometimes I can't understand Nigeria, we abuse those that are trying to make Nigeria better and hail those that steal Nigeria blind.

May his sould rest in perfect peace.
