ReplyDeleteThey succeeded in assassinating this man.... Yes he was indicted for corruption in the Dasukigate but why the assassination? So many things to be unravelled.

ReplyDeletei beg I beg let me hear word... he didn't die well sef... his incompetence and greed is one of the reasons boko harm infiltrated the North so much. let us speak the truth Jor... not because he is dead now all of a sudden he is a hero. Death hasnt even started with us... shebi we like to acquire earthly goods in the name of greed and at the expense of anothers life... I really hope he will carry everything with him. let us stop celebrating these criminals and murderes.
ReplyDeleteBest comment.
DeleteThank you so much Anonymous 9.22! The Evil that Men do live with them! Those soldiers are dying in their droves but all these are been covered up! Na I.Gs remain! A friend of mine was married to a " DISGRACED" former I.G of police's daughter! He told me that Nigerians cannot comprehend the wealth the man acquired and that he only returned " recharge card" money to Nigerian Govt..Every PDP governor during his tenure built him a " state of the art" house in their various states because he helped them to rig elections!
DeleteGbam! Thank you ojare. They should bury him with all the stolen dollars. He would probably need bribe money to settle at the other side.
DeleteAn excellent comment. He reaped what he sowed and got his just rewards. Many a brave Nigerian soldier died needlessly on the field of battle because instead of ensuring that our were properly trained, equipped and sustained he chose to line the pockets of himself and his cronies. I sincerely hope he rots in hell
DeleteVanity upon vanity. Where r d Billions he pocketed and sent innocent soldiers to war front to die? Shammmmmm. Best comment @ Anon
DeleteThat yeye deity abi debity or duty Lord AKA mr Nobody will not talk now dat security is compromised under his Master Vuhari's watch. Confused sombori
ReplyDeleteI have no sympathy for this man. This bare faced thief was responsible for the hunger and death of so many innocent souls. Rumor has it that those he did dirty dealings with capped him because he was ready to snitch.
ReplyDeleteI only feel for the ones who loved him that he left behind. May God give them the strength to move on.
And his driver was also shot
DeleteNo be small thing o, Ex Chief of Defense Staff killed...Who else is safe then?
ReplyDeleteRIP to the dead.Nigeria is in a bad shape. It might even be kidnapping gone wrong,not really assassination. So many people had died on Nigeria roads as a result of robbery etc.They never learn,if Nigeria roads were good,it will sure curbs all this evils.
ReplyDeleteSecond time a military man has been killed in a space of two months.He knows too damn much.the r trying to cover up something.
ReplyDeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteWas he trying to cut a deal over his case? His actions led to the loss of so many solders who fought with no arms and died for nothing. His actions contributed to the difficulty the solders faced in curbing Boko Haram. He's now dead and all of a sudden he should rest in peace? Where is the justice for all the solders under his watch?
ReplyDeleteReno continue to tweet from the comfort of your house instead of calling for swift justice over his cohorts.
I don't feel sorry for this man.all this top officers can so frustrate their subordinate.They will destroy ur career make u miserable I am talking from experience.All i know is dat a very experienced person dat killed him.u can't attack a general dat has many escort without a rigorious experience.I hope d remaining wicked generals are seeing dis bcos cama always visit them
