Late Army Chief Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja Died from Poisoning, Not Cancer
A senior military source has revealed new information suggesting that the late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, died from poisoning, not cancer as initially claimed by the authorities.
The revelation, made by a top-level military informant, points to the involvement of a “military cabal with sinister motives” behind the Army Chief’s death.
Gen. Lagbaja, who passed away on October 17, was initially reported to have died from cancer, a claim that was quickly disseminated to the public after the Army denied the death in a statement on October 20, labeling the news as “fake.” However, insiders within the military suggest that the cancer story was concocted to deflect suspicion and prevent anyone from being held accountable for the alleged poisoning.
According to a military source, Gen. Lagbaja had no history of cancer and appeared healthy up until his death. The source emphasized that the Army Chief had been seen engaging in physical activities, such as doing press-ups with soldiers, days before his passing—an unlikely activity for someone suffering from terminal cancer. “He was certainly poisoned,” the source stated, further calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.
There are growing concerns within the military about the potential fallout from Lagbaja’s death, particularly regarding fears of a possible coup. Although these rumors have been dismissed by high-ranking military leaders, the ongoing insecurity and economic hardship in the country are said to be contributing to unease within the ranks.
Jackson Ude, a journalist with insider sources, revealed these explosive details on Twitter, calling for a public investigation into the cause of Gen. Lagbaja’s death, stressing the need for transparency given his position as a public official. The controversy surrounding the Army Chief’s passing continues to deepen, raising questions about the stability of the military and the broader political landscape.
Bitcoin reached a record high above $90,000 on Wednesday, as the world’s largest cryptocurrency gained from President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to ease regulation on digital assets.
Bitcoin surged to a peak of $91,000 before settling at $90,670.
The volatile asset has soared since Trump’s US presidential election victory last week, repeatedly setting new records.
Trump had pledged during his campaign to make the United States the “Bitcoin and cryptocurrency capital of the world.”
His previous term included corporate tax cuts that boosted market liquidity, encouraging cryptocurrency investment.
In September, Trump announced he and his sons, along with entrepreneurs, would launch a digital currency platform called World Liberty Financial. However, its sales launch earlier this month was lacklustre, with only a fraction of tokens sold.
Cryptocurrencies have drawn global attention, marked by extreme volatility and the collapse of major industry players, including the FTX exchange.
In the lead-up to the election, Trump reportedly became the first former president to use Bitcoin in a transaction, buying burgers at a New York restaurant that hailed it as a “historic transaction.”
