Tinubu urged to probe ex-Army Chief’s death in air crash during Buhari govt

The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, on Monday urged President Bola Tinubu to order a thorough investigation into the death of former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, who died in an air crash.

The call followed claims by a former General Officer Commanding (GOC), 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maj Gen Danjuma Ali-Keffi (rtd), that the air crash that killed Attahiru was linked to terror sponsors.

Ali-Keffi made the claim during the weekend, in an interview with Arise Television.

He also appealed to the President to probe the air crash, which he alleged was swept under the carpet.

In a post on his X handle on Monday, Amadi wondered why former President Muhammadu Buhari did not bother to investigate the incident.

Amadi urged Tinubu to order a thorough investigation.

“Army Chief and many top officers died in a suspicious air crash and the President @MBuhari did not bother to conduct an investigation? We may not know how much we have been invaded and conquered by terrorists. @officialABAT should order a thorough investigation ASAP.”
