A heartfelt tribute to late Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja.
A militant heart, now still and cold
The Nation mourn, both young and old
A warrior soul, a patriot might
On the field of faith, you shone so bright
With every piece of breath, you shield our motherland
Leading brave men with a steadfast hand
Boot now empty, Blade of honour now laid down
His cannon’s cry extinguished
Yet, Legend remains.
A warrior pulse, Now stilled in time
On the alter of freedom, you laid your life
Your sacrifice, our beacon hope
Your footsteps echo, in our mind
A trailblazer, forever aligned
Though gone, your spirit remains
Your valour shines, like stars above
Now rest in peace, your story told
Fierce heart, forever silenced
Battle-hardened soul, now at rest
We mourn your loss, yet celebrate
The life you live, the victories create
Death’s dark veil cannot conceal your heart
Shining bright in our hearts, a guiding light
We honour your memory and your name
Etched in our hearts forever the same
A warrior’s heart that beat forever anew.
