Very reliable sources from both the military and family have voluntarily but unofficially released more information about how Nigeria’s brilliant Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt General Taoreed Lagbaja died.
One of the sources who actually spoke from Germany with PMParrot on Wednesday morning after trending story on how the military officer died said “he officially died on Tuesday.”
When probed further, the source said “may God continue to be with us. You see, General had a domestic accident. He slipped in the bathroom and suffered serious stroke. He went into coma and died clinically some weeks back”.
Yet another source informed PMParrot that the deceased General was only confirmed dead on Tuesday after his life support machine was unplugged.
Said the source “the life support machine was removed after clearance was secured from necessary authorities.”
Recall that few weeks ago, it was rumored that Lt General Taoreed Lagbaja is dead before been later denied by the Nigerian Army.
Days later, the Nigeria President, Bola Tinubu appointed Major General Olufemi Oluyede to act in in his place.
In a statement by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, explained that Oluyede would assume the role pending the return of Lt. General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja, who they claimed that was currently abroad for medical treatment.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, a day after Major General Oluyede was promoted to Lt. General, President Tinubu, through his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga officially announced that Lt. General Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja, Chief of the Army Staff, died on Tuesday in Lagos at 56.
