The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, has died. Lagbaja died in an undisclosed hospital overseas nearly 48hrs ago from a stage three cancer, according to a senior Government official. The death of the deceased Chief of Army staff has been kept secret because of intense lobbying by some Army Generals who want to take over the deceased position.
