He was ambushed and gunned down by gun-wielding men along the Abuja-Keffi road while returning from his farm yesterday 18 December 2018. Two of his aides were also kidnapped immediately he was killed.
The late officer and defence boss was 61, and was commissioned into the Nigerian Air Force in 1979.
In the wake of the Jonathan administration , he was accused of diverting billions of naira meant for use in the war on insurgency, and has had a running battle in court, before his death.
The statement from the office of the Nigerian Air Force confirmed the incident and prayed for the peaceful repose of the officer.
