The sad and brutal assasination of the former Chief of Defence Staff and former Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, a day after President Buhari’s birthday, is a despicable and cowardly act.

Not only was he an officer and a gentleman but he was also a profoundly good man who was criminalised, humiliated and treated in a malicious and unacceptable manner by a vicious, malevolent and evil government that had targetted him for villification and destruction right from the start.

Despite the fact that he was subjected to a well-orchestrated and relentless degree of persecution from the Buhari administration, he remained a believer in Nigeria and a heroic, courageous and unrelenting critic of tyranny, injustice and ethnic and religious subjugation till the end.

He knew many of the Buhari government’s excesses and secrets, he worked quietly against them from behind the scenes and, by his numerous actions and interventions, he saved the lives of many of his Middle Belt people.

Those that were behind his assasination know who they are. They shall not escape justice and they will pay a terrible price for their wickedness. His assasination is a debt that will be repaid by God and the people no matter how long it takes.

In the fullness of time the Lord of Hosts and the Ancient of Days, in whose bosom he now resides, will avenge him.

These are still early days and the investigation is yet to commence but I do not accept the suggestion that some have already made that his murder was a random and isolated event. That is just too convenient a conclusion to come to and it seeks to cover the tracks of the masterninds of this heinous and ungodly crime. In any case many questions need to be answered.

For example, how come a former Chief of Defence Staff and a former Chief of Air Staff did not have any military personnel or security details guarding and protecting him? This is especially so given the fact that it appears that he was on a long distance drive on a road which has has proved to be dangerous in the early hours of the evening.

Badeh was entitled to that level of protection by virtue of his position as a former Chief of Defence Staff. How come he was denied it? Who withdrew his men? Who wanted him to be alone with just his driver on that journey? Who wanted him dead?

There are many other questions which we shall ask at the appropiate time. And one day we shall get the answers.

Meanwhile, I add my voice to those who have called for an independent and public commission of enquiry into this courageous and noble soul’s brutal assasination.

With his murder it is clear that, under Buhari, ours is a nation of not just ethnic and religious cleansing but also a nation of political cleansing.

Adamawa state, the Middle Belt, Christendom and indeed the whole of Nigeria has lost a great man who though maligned, demonised and misrepresented by his numerous and powerful detractors, still had so much to offer our nation. May his beautiful and precious soul rest in peace.

Permit me to conclude this contribution with the following aside. Given this sad event, if anyone still believes that President Buhari will conduct a free and fair election and, after losing, hand over power quietly and go back to Daura without a fight next year, that person is gravely mistaken and painfully naive.

Those that believe this have still not fully understood the nature of the beast that we are dealing with. What they fail to appreciate is that it is not about Buhari alone but about who and what he represents. And those that he represents are not ready to relinquish power and lose all the ground that they have regained over the last three years and six months.

Consider the following words which were sent to me by an insider who wishes to remain anonymous.

“Air Chief Alex Badeh the former Chief of Defence Staff who called the Nigerian President, Mohammadu Buhari a “religious bigot” to his face was assasinated yesterday after he had threatened to expose the government over its involvement with Boko Haram prior to removing Jonathan. Just before he left office, he visited Maiduguri in a covet operation and ran into some top members of the current day government as they were coming out of a meeting with Boko Haram Commanders at the Nigerian Army underground Armory which was siezed by Boko Haram. He ordered his boys not to open fire but took pictures which he refused to hand over to the government when he was retired. He raised an alarm first week in November 2018 when 2 hooded men tried to break into his Asokoro house but DSS played it down. He was assassinated in cold blood by unknown gun men one month later”.

I cannot confirm the veracity of some of these assertions but two things are self-evident. Firstly that he was indeed murdered on December 18th and secondly that there is a dimension to this matter that few are familiar with.

Yet whatever we choose to believe or choose not to believe we must always remember the following: theirs is an ancient and hegemonic agenda and it is as real today as it was 58 years ago when we won our independence from the British.

First it was Rear Admiral Daniel Ikoli, the Fleet Commander of the Western Naval Command, who reports suggest was conducting an investigation into secret arms sales to Boko Haram, that was assasinated.

Then it was ex-Military Intelligence Chief and the former Director of Administration of Defence Headquarters, General Alkali, who was privy to a lot of damning information, that was assasinated.

Then it was the ex-Chief of Defence Staff under whose leadership Boko Haram was annihilated, Air Vice Marshall Alex Badeh, that has been assasinated.

All three of these worthy and noble warriors and sons of Nigeria were murdered in the last one year and all three had quite a story to tell about what was really going on in certain circles in our country! I urge our people to ponder on this and to think, think and think again!

The cabal is very much in control, the game is on and the next few months will be a rough ride. Yet no matter what comes our way one thing is clear: God is still on the throne and all power belongs to Him.

He rules in the affairs of men, He forges the destiny of nations and His counsel alone shall stand. Fasten your seat belts and let us see what will unfold.

We have nothing more to say than to add his assassination to Buhari's numerous achievements.

Badeh is one of the men getting fat on the money meant to provide adequate security for Nigerians.
I will never wish him Rest in peace .

FAKE and unproffessional... wallahi like kannywood script. He's filled with hatred for pmb but cant do him anything.
Pmb forever.
Pmb fights boko haram with full heart, unlike gej did in few months to election.
If badeh know something solid will not be moving around in tokunbo car.

Bubu should just go back to Daura

That some people believe Alkali was killed in a Berom village is just plain silly. Nigerians are really gullible. The Buhari government, just as FFK has said, should explain why these 3 warriors were brutally murdered.

So the chief of defence staff whose job is to protect the nation, sees Boko Haram commanders and their fellow conspirators but rather than apprehend them, he decides to take pictures?

Calling this foolish and r.etarded is an understatement.

Fani Kayode should know that it is possible to dislike Buhari and still be sane.

This same hatred he is creating will backflip on him.

Alex looted the defense treasy, sent soldiers to their death, mubi was desserted, families destroyed while he extracted his family and sent them to usa.
Mourning him is a shame and insult to dead soldiers.

idiot but insider didnt tell you how badeh caused the deathof more than 200 soilders killed by bokoharam when he looted their welfare funds with his family

A traitor... just like his father ..this was how his father and Akintola betrayed obafemi Awolowo and the Yorubas..well.. he is well known to the Yorubas..don't waste ur energy on him..he doesn't worth it..the whole family seemed cursed..by the Yoruba"s ancestors..

Everybody that care knows this assassination has political undertone

These assassinations are politically motivated.Fingers crossed.FFK hearsay is not adding up.How can Badeh, then CDS see northern leaders having meeting with BH and not take concrete action

This man stupidity exceed my imagination. This is pure madness

Baba God answer my call I'm tired of this shithole call country. Every day bad news

It's a pity how yorubas hate their bold brothers who speak against evil..
But worships corrupt people like Tinubu and his likes..

But why my yoruba friends why :

It seems FFK has received his consignment of the white stuff from his dealer today.

Pile of gibberish from beginning to the end. He ended up saying nothing. I just wasted my precious time reading what amounted to nothing.

The days are evil.

Evil pervades the land.

An Igbo adage says that "it is very easy to give water to a thirsty monkey. The difficult part is retrieving your cup afterwards".

Only the wise will understand the words of elders.

Udo diri unu!

This guy is a pig and an idiot in one person. No wonder he got along well cownu.

Alex Badeh first blew the whistle that arms procurement was last done in 2006 and only a few arms were procured

The insider didn't tell you Badeh used military formations and hardware to evacuate his immediate and extended family when Mubi was under attack? Leaving hordes of innocent souls to perish?

This acidhead again

Here is the same "innocent man" handing over his property to EFCC

Death does not confer sainthood.

It is clear he was going to expose beneficiaries of the loot which has implicated many pdp members.

is only when people died that they start having stories to tell, badeh is a military man and if he had any info, he should have known how dangerous keep it was.

Abeg leave all this long story joor, the fact still remains that he was in a position to make the country a better place but failed to do so not knowing that nemesis will wait for him no matter how long it takes. Same will happen to every other person or persons in position who refuse to do the right thing be you Buhari or Atiku or whatever.... Nemesis will always catch up no matter how long.

When government have a hand in a murder of a top politician or army general you never get to see the end of that investigation but when they are not involved, it is with dispatch that it is resolved.

For a top brass military officers murder, it won't take the military a day to fish out the killers because they have the tools to do so.

Nobody dey even talk about his driver sef.
what is his driver's name?
omo make God no make me come escort person for this world.

Once most people die they become saints. I heard he had pilfering fingers.
