Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has declared a three-day period of mourning in honor of the late Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. General Taoreed Lagbaja.

The mourning period, set to last from November 7 to 9, was announced in a statement by Oluomo Alimi, the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment.

During this period, flags will be flown at half-mast across Osun State, as directed by the governor.

Additionally, condolence registers have been opened at the government house and the governor’s office to allow residents to pay tribute to the late army chief.

“The government is deeply saddened by this irreparable loss of one of Osun State’s most distinguished sons,” the statement read.

The governor extended condolences to the Lagbaja family of Ilobu, the Olobu of Ilobu, and all others affected by the tragic loss.

Alimi noted that the condolence registers provide an opportunity for residents to honor Lagbaja’s legacy.
