A family friend of the Badehs who spoke with punchng said that it was
unlikely if they would come. He said, “I have spoken with them and I don’t know
for now if they will be coming but it is highly unlikely. Their father has just
been killed under controversial circumstances and the government has not
removed them from the watch list. if they return and their passports are seized
and they are not allowed to return, it would be a double tragedy. everybody is
still in shock so we cannot say for now if they will be coming but since they
are Christians, there is no rush. A lot can happen before then.”
A prosecution witness, Abubakar Madaki, had told a Federal High Court
sitting In Maitama that Badeh’s wife and two of his children were being
investigated for offences with which the ex-Chief of Air Staff was charged.
Madaki said the three of them, however, escaped to the united states before the
investigation was concluded. He said all attempts to get them arrested turned
out to be futile.
