Delivering a homily entitled the lost axe head, Group Captain Dogo Gani lauded Badeh for his selfless qualities and dedication to service to his nation.

Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh was killed by gunmen who attacked his vehicle as he was returning from his farm along Abuja-Keffi Road in December 2018.
