The driver who was shot during the attack that led to Alex Badeh's death is alive and recuperating - Nigerian airforce

The Nigerian Airforce has issued an official statement to address some issues surruonding the death of former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh.

According to the Airforce , the driver who was wounded in the attack is alive and recuperating as investigation into the incident is substantially progressing.

The statement reads, 'the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has noted, with dismay, some erroneous reports and comments in the media regarding the unfortunate incident that led to the death of former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, on 18 December 2018. Some of these reports erroneously state that the driver of the late former CDS, who was also shot during the incident, is dead. Other reports allege that adequate security was not provided for the deceased Air Chief Marshal'.

The NAF wishes to state categorically that nothing could be further from the truth. Firstly, all are please requested to note that the driver is alive and recuperating extremely well at one of our NAF Hospitals. Secondly, Air Chief Marshal Badeh has always been provided with the full compliment of personal staff and security personnel commensurate with his status as a former Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), CDS and a 4-star general in the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
As mentioned by the CAS, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on 19 December 2018, the NAF is working closely with other relevant security agencies to determine the circumstances surrounding the death of the former CDS with a view to ensuring that the perpetrators of the heinous act are brought to justice. Substantial progress has already been made in the ongoing investigation and details would be communicated at the appropriate time.
While appreciating the overwhelming show of support received from well-meaning Nigerians during this trying time, the NAF wishes to request that the spreading of misinformation about the incident should stop forthwith as this could have adverse effects on the conduct of ongoing operations.

This came after he had consulted with an Imam on whether it was allowed in Islam for him to kill his wife and children. The 40-year-old father was involved in a protracted custody battle with his estranged wife who has three kids with him, so he came up with the devious plan so as to get custody of his children. Worcester Crown Court heard the youngster, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, suffered serious burns to his face and arm at the Home Bargains store in the city on July 21 last year after he was squirted in the face with sulphuric acid. The father, whose identity is being hidden to protect his kids, has been charged with conspiring to unlawfully or maliciously cast or throw sulphuric acid on or at the boy between June 1 and July 22, with intent to burn, maim, disfigure or disable the minor, or do some gri...
