Sharing the photo, he wrote …
“🕊About Lt. Gen. Lagbaja:
“He was my Platoon Commandant ages ago, during my NYSC.
He was a disciplinarian, yet very friendly and helpful.
His stern looks (which had been since then), does not really tell you his heart. He would sit and discuss, encourage, etc.
We all loved him back then. I couldn’t have held an officer’ s hands like that.”

@olorogunErnest asked: “You did your NYSC 1997/1998? Your tweet is very confusing as it means you served about 26 years ago? Are you saying you’re approaching 50yo?”

@Yhakike said: “God rest his soul.
First time I heard about him was when he was GOC 1Div. He reportedly led his troops to the bushes himself. Rode on motorbike and gave bandits along the Kaduna-Abuja road a run for their madness. And he won. Speaks of his leadership. Rest in Peace, General. 👮♂️”
