Slain former Chief of Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh’s wife and three children have been delisted from security agencies watch-list.
The removal of their names from the watch-list on compassionate ground will allow members of the immediate family to attend his burial.
Those on the watch-list are;
Recall that the ex-CDS was shot dead on December 18 by some assailants along Keffi-Abuja Highway while returning from his farm.
The police and other security agencies are on the trail of other suspects.
It has been difficult for members of Badeh’s immediate family to return to Nigeria from abroad because they have been watch-listed for arrest by INTERPOL and other security agencies.
They were marked for arrest as a result of their alleged involvement in the alleged N3.9billion fraud against the late ex-CDS.
Members of the family fled abroad during the investigation and trial of Badeh.
The Nation learnt that the late Air Chief Marshal Badeh’s wife and children wrote EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Magu through their counsel, Mr. Akin Olujinmi (SAN) and Mr. Samuel Zibiri (SAN), for a “compassionate waiver” to return home for the burial of the ex-CDS.
Olujimi sent a letter on December 20, last year, Zibiri did a follow-up on January 2.
“The EFCC has written the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and other security agencies to de-list Badeh’s wife and children,” the source said, pleading not to be named.
