When Vanguard visited SFU, men and officers of the Unit were seen discussing the demise of Bada whom they described as a special breed who brought honour not only to the Nigeria Police but to the nation and Africa as a continent.
One of the officers, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “We only heard about his death this morning. But we are yet to be officially briefed on how he died, though we got different versions.
“His death came as a shock because we never expected it. He was a team player, an easy-going fellow and a fine officer to the core.”
