The late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja, will be laid to rest in Abuja on Friday, according to his elder brother, Moshood Lagbaja.
This announcement was made during a condolence visit by the St Charles Grammar School Osogbo Old Boys Association (SCOBA) at the family’s residence in Osogbo, Osun State.
Moshood noted that while the military was unable to release the general’s remains directly to the family, they assured him of an honorable military burial on Friday in Abuja.
The SCOBA delegation, led by Engineer Adesina Salami, the association’s 1st Vice President, conveyed their condolences through a letter signed by the Global President, Tade Adekunle, and General Secretary, Leye Odetoyinbo.
Representing SCOBA, Salami praised Lt. Gen. Lagbaja as an exceptional leader, loyal Charlean, and a dedicated servant of the nation.
Salami said, “We mourn the loss of an exceptional individual, a proud Charlean, and a distinguished military leader who served our nation with unwavering dedication. Lt. Gen. Lagbaja’s remarkable life, selfless service, and enduring legacy inspire us.
“He made an inspiring and unforgettable impact on the Charlean Family Worldwide during his glorious lifetime.
“May the comforting presence of Almighty God surround you during this difficult time. May His peace, love, and strength sustain you as you navigate the darkness of grief.
“We pray that the cherished memories of Lt. Gen. Lagbaja’s love, wisdom, and accomplishments bring solace to your hearts, and may his exemplary life continue to inspire generations to come.”
