Arewa. Ng had reported that Badeh who rose to the rank of Air Chief Marshal in the Nigerian military, died from gunshot wounds he sustained after his vehicle was attacked while returning from his farm along Abuja-Keffi Road on Tuesday.
Reacting, some Nigerians on Twitter wondered where the security guards of the Chief of staff were.
Here are some comments Arewa. Ng gathered:
“@prosper_ifficia,Air Vice Marshall Alex Badeh, Your death is a reminder of how unsafe Nigeria has become under the allegedly watchful eyes of the @PoliceNG and @MBuhari.This is so bad that it hurts me beyond measures
“@ignatua2009, “Nigeria @ crossroad,the gruesome murder of former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh is worrisome. My sincere condolences to his family and our Armed Forces at this tumultuous time. May the Almighty God grant him eternal rest. Rest in Elysium Chief!.”
“@SOTS249, “We’re so caught up in APC/PDP sycophancy, we fail to realize that all federal structures are falling apart with each passing day. How does one explain the assassination of a former Chief of Defense Staff. If the military cannot defend her own, guess we’re doomed. #RIP Alex Badeh.”
“@sweetsshantel,”Late Bola Ige was a civilian, may his soul RIP & after 17yrs a former Chief of Defence Staff & a 4 General; Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh was assassinated under PMB & u called that progressive.Buhari has Failed.”
“@deezer234, “Alex badeh allegedly deprived the Nigerian Military of weapons and kept the money for himself…he is now dead from the insecurity he helped in establishing!Corruption affects everyone.. including those engaging in it as he allegedly did.”
