I wouldn’t have bought NDA form for Lagbaja if… — Family head

Pa Tajudeen Lagbaja, the family head of the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja, has expressed his regret over obtaining the Nigerian Defence Academic (NDA) form for the deceased.

He wishes he hadn’t bought the form, knowing it would lead to Lagbaja’s untimely death.

The family is still reeling from the shock, and some members even suspect foul play due to a land dispute in their hometown, Ilobu, Osun.

“Everyone who is born must die. We give glory to God. The year that I obtained NDA form for him, if I had known that he would die before me, I would not have done so. I regret obtaining the form for him. But it is destiny.

“The death that killed Taoreed Lagbaja ought to take me. I took him as one of my children. We are greatly bereaved, we are sad. He constructed a borehole in his father’s compound and other places in the community.

“We can never forget him, his death is so shocking to us. I have accepted the fate, all the promises he made to me have hit a brick wall. He always gave us hope in the family, despite the sorrow, I give thanks to God,” the family head told TheNation.
