First lady Oluremi Tinubu on Wednesday paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-General Taoreed Lagbaja.
Lagbaja died in Lagos on Tuesday night at the age of 56. He battled an undisclosed ailment before his death.
Accompanied by the wife of the Vice President, Nana Shettima, and wife of the national security adviser, Hajia Ribadu, Mrs Tinubu was warmly received by Oghogho Musa, wife of the Chief of Defence Staff.
During the visit, the first lady offered prayers and condolences to the grieving family.
While comforting the COAS’ widow Mariya Lagbaja and the children, Senator Tinubu noted that “the Lord only can determine when a man dies.”
A statement by the first lady’s spokesperson Busola Kukoyi quoted her as urging them to be “comforted by the good life and legacies he left behind.”
She encouraged the children to remain steadfast and uphold the values their father stood for.
