The remains of the late Chief of General Staff, Rear Admiral Mike Akhigbe has finally arrived Nigeria.

His corpse touched down at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, on board a British Airways plane, at about 6:34pm on Sunday.

Before the arrival of the corpse from the US, a cultural dance from Fugar, Akhigbe’s hometown comprising mostly women, naval personnel, his townsmen and women as well as other sympathisers were at the airport to receive the body.

Two of his children, a man and woman, were equally on ground to receive the corpse of their late father.

On arrival at Lagos airport, a military ambulance belonging to the Nigeria Army with registration number, NA 399E was used to convey the remains from the apron to one of the exit gates of the airport, where corpses usually pass through.

At the gate, the former CGS body was transferred into an MIC Mercedez Benz car under tight security provided by men of the Nigeria Navy, with just MIC as its official number plate.

Journalists and photographers were barred from taking pictures.
