Lagbaja, who served under Buratai, held several key positions, including Commander of the 9 Brigade in Ikeja and the 2 Brigade in Uyo. He was later promoted to Major General and appointed Director of Campaign Planning at Army Headquarters in 2020.

Buratai conveyed his heartfelt condolences to President Bola Tinubu, the Nigerian Army, and Lagbaja’s family. He lauded Lagbaja’s visionary leadership, noting that his contributions were instrumental in shaping the Nigerian Army into a stronger and more efficient institution.

“General Lagbaja’s legacy will remain in the hearts of those he impacted and in the nation he served with unwavering commitment,” Buratai remarked.

Family Claims Diabolical Circumstances Surrounding Lagbaja’s Death

Meanwhile, Pa Tajudeen Lagbaja, the head of the deceased’s family, expressed profound regret over facilitating his son’s entry into the military. Reflecting on the tragic end to Lt. Gen. Lagbaja’s life, he stated, “If I had known his life would be cut short, I would never have encouraged him to pursue a military career.”

The family has raised concerns that the death may have been influenced by sinister forces, potentially linked to a land dispute in their hometown of Ilobu, Osun State. The dispute reportedly began when the Nigerian Army proposed the establishment of a hospital in the community in 2023.

In an emotional statement, Pa Tajudeen expressed sorrow, saying, “I regret obtaining the NDA form for him. If I had known, I wouldn’t have done it, but it’s destiny.”

The family head added, “While we accept this as fate, his death has left a void in our hearts. He was a great son who gave hope to our family, and we will never forget him. His promises to us now remain unfulfilled, but we thank God for the time we had with him.
