EX CHIEF OF DEFENCE, LATE ALEX BADEH’S KILLERS RELEASES HIS ABDUCTED FRIEND
It was gathered that Badeh’s friend was released after his family paid a ransom running into millions of naira.
The police had said in a statement last week that, “The former CDS suffered gunshot injury which resulted to his death, while his driver was injured and Badeh’s friend abducted.”
It was learnt that authorities are working on the theory that Badeh’s murder may have been an abduction gone wrong as the friend was released after a ransom was paid.
It was further learnt that there had been two of such incidents along the Keffi-Abuja Expressway before Badeh’s murder in the last one month.
However, sources within the Nigerian Air Force told The PUNCH that there would be a joint briefing with the police and the air force immediately after the Christmas break.
