Mourning the deceased, President Bola Tinubu in a statement issued by his Special Adviser, Chief Ajuri Ngelale described the death which occurred on Sunday as a great loss.
The President sympathized with the Alli family and the Nigerian Army, saying the deceased served his country faithfully.
"I condole with the Alli family and the Nigerian Army over the sad loss of the former Chief of Army Staff. He served his country with honour and retired meritoriously.
