Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, the recently appointed Chief of Army Staff. Has been dubbed the nightmare of bandits by popular journalist, Jafar Jafar.
He made this statement via his Twitter account on Monday, in response to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s appointment of service chiefs.
He said that Maj. Gen. Lagbaja, the 1st Division’s general commanding officer, expelled robbers off the Abuja-Kaduna motorway.
The new COAS will strengthen efforts to combat insecurity in Nigeria, he stated.
He wrote, “The new Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja, is bandits’ nightmare. He was the one who cleared bandits from Abuja-Kaduna Expressway when he was the GOC, 1st Division. As a thoroughbred infantry officer, Lagbaja physically led the war against the terrorists. Motorists now ply the road without dread. Now that he’s the COAS, I hope he will replicate this stellar feat in other restive areas of the country”.
