Lagbaja’s Death Will Inspire Victory Against Enemies – CDS Musa
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has vowed that the death of the late Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, will motivate the armed forces to intensify efforts in defeating the nation’s enemies.
Speaking at Lagbaja’s burial ceremony on Friday in Abuja, Musa assured Nigerians that the military remains resolute in its mission to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and security.
The burial ceremony, attended by high-ranking government officials, military personnel, and dignitaries, saw an outpouring of tributes for the late COAS, who was lauded for his leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the Nigerian Army.
The late COAS was laid to rest at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja following a series of tributes and military honours. His passing has been described as a significant loss to Nigeria’s armed forces and the nation.
Musa said, “We will not leave you alone. We know your loss is immeasurable, but please take solace in knowing that he lived a life of purpose and left behind a legacy that will never fade. To my fellow officers and men, let us use this moment to recommit ourselves to the ideas for which General Labaja stood for.
“Let us ensure that his sacrifice and service continue to guide our steps as we defend this great nation. We are going to use his passing away to resolve further to defeat all enemies of the state, wherever they are, whether within or outside.
“As we lower him today into the embrace of the earth, let us raise our voices in prayer and gratitude for a life well lived.”
