The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has assured Nigerians that the death of the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, would propel them to defeat the nation’s enemies wherever they are.
He spoke at the burial of the late COAS on Friday in Abuja.
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. “
