The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has disclosed why all the security team attached to the late former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh, are still in detention about five months after their arrest.

Daily Sun reports that the security details comprising personnel from the Nigerian Army and Navy have been transferred to their various service where they are being detained.

Badeh was with his full security escort when he was killed by gunmen along the old Abuja/Kaduna, prompting the military to arrest all of them.

Colonel Onyema Nwachuku, acting director defence information, said since it is a murder case which is a weighty issue, the suspects may have to remain in custody until investigations are concluded.

According to him, “The information I have is that finishing touches are being put on the investigation concerning those suspects.

“They are still in custody as we speak and once the investigations are concluded, reports would be made and forwarded to the appropriate authorities.”

Recall that Legit.ng reported that the Nigerian Air Force warned members of the public to deviate from spreading misinformation concerning the death of former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Alex Badeh.

The NAF specifically denied insinuations that adequate security was not provided for the deceased Air Chief Marshal.

A statement by the NAF spokesman, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, on Thursday, December 20, read: “some erroneous reports and comments in the media regarding the unfortunate incident that led to the death of former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, on 18 December 2018.”

“Some of these reports erroneously state that the driver of the late former CDS, who was also shot during the incident, is dead. Other reports allege that adequate security was not provided for the deceased Air Chief Marshal.

“The NAF wishes to state categorically that nothing could be further from the truth. Firstly, all are please requested to note that the driver is alive and recuperating extremely well at one of our NAF Hospitals.''

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
