The Army has confirmed the killing of a serving General, Major General Hassan Ahmed, by bandits along the Lokoja-Abuja Highway.

The bandits were said to have opened fire on his vehicle.

The late General did not travel with his escort, The Nation gathered.

General Hassan, posted to the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, was the Army Provost Marshal under former Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai.

Confirming the incident in a statement, Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, said: "With a heavy heart, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya, Officers and Soldiers of the Nigerian Army regret to announce the passing on of Maj Gen Hassan Ahmed, a former Provost Marshall of the Nigerian Army.

"The sad incident occurred when the senior officer's vehicle was attacked by gunmen while transiting along Lokoja - Abuja road yesterday 15 July 2021".

The statement added: "A delegation from the Army Headquarters led by the Chief of Policy and Plans (Army) Maj Gen Anthony Omozoje has visited the widow and other members of the bereaved family.

"Members of the Nigerian Army Officers' Wives Association (NAOWA) led by the Deputy National President, Mrs Stella Omozoje have also visited the family to console with them.

ObadiahMal:

Let me make some revelations because some of us also have our own intelligence networks. I have met with some of the bandits, we have met with some of their high commanders. One or two who have repented. They have sat down with us, not once, not twice.

They told us that one of the northern governors is the commander of Boko Haram in Nigeria. Boko Haram and the Bandits are one and the same thing. They have a sophisticated network. during this lockdown their Planes were moving up and down as though there was no lock down. Moving ammunition, money, logistics and distributing them in different part of the country. They are already in the south. In the rain forest of the south. They are everywhere. They told us that when they finish this rural killings, they will move to phase 2.

In the Phase 2, they will go into the urban cities, going from house to house killing prominent people. I can tell you, this is the game plan. By 2022, they want to start a civil war in Nigeria. Don't joke with what I am saying you. I have a PHD from Oxford university. I am a central banker, we don't talk nonsense. So don't joke with what I am telling you. --- Obadiah Mailafia
