The body of a former Chief of General Staff, Vice-Admiral Mike Akhigbe, who died a week ago, is expected to arrive in Nigeria on Saturday, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

Nigeria’s Consul-General in New York, Ambassador Habib Habu, told NAN on Thursday that the body would depart New York on Friday night.
“Earlier on Friday, a church service in honour of the former Naval chief held at the Holy Family Church located at 315E, 47th Street in New York,’’ he said.

NAN recalls that Akhigbe died on October 28 at the age of 67 in New York.
