The late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja has been laid to rest in Abuja, amid tears and tributes, ending an illustrious military career that spanned decades.

The internment took place at the National Cemetery in the nation’s capital marking an end to two days of funeral rites that began in Lagos earlier in the week.

His body was lowered to Mother Earth at exactly 4:41 pm after the ceremony that lasted four over two hours.

Lagbaja’s casket, draped in Nigeria’s green and white colours, arrived at the cemetery around 3 pm in a white funeral wagon after a funeral service at the National Christian Centre in Abuja.
