Bill Propounder of the National Commission for the Co-ordination and Control of Proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons (NATCOM), Dr. Baba Mohammed who is also the Madaki of Ankpa, has  commiserated with the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the death of Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja.

In a statement by the Media Aid to the NATCOM Bill Propounder David Olaitan described the death of the late Chief of Army  Staff Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja as not  only a profound loss to his immediate family but to Nigeria as a whole especially at this point in his life and career.

Dr. Baba Mohammed eulogised the late  Chief of Army staff as a fine officer and a dedicated leader of men whose sense of patriotism was exemplary, saying his vigorous effort at the frontline of  war to end banditry and insurgency has already borne good fruits and it is unfortunate that he would not be around to see it through.

The bill propounder  says his heart goes out to the deceased beloved family, his officers and men, the National Security Adviser , Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the chief of defence staff, General Christopher Musa and other service chiefs as well as the country that has once again lost a gallant army chief, one in the fine tradition of his brilliant predecessors.

While enjoining the  Nigerian Armed Forces to continue to make the necessary sacrifice to safeguard the country’s democracy and her territorial integrity, the Madaki of Ankpa Dr. Baba Mohammed also joined other Nigerians in applauding their courage.
