"Unarguably, the nation has lost one of her best and fertile minds in the Armed forces. We shall sorely miss him".
Senator Mark recalled their days as classmates at the Nigeria Defence Academy ( NDA), 3rd Regular Course, Kaduna between 1967 and 1970 saying Malu was a patriot.
Only last month, the NDA 3rd Regular Course marked its 50th anniversary in Kaduna during which Malu and his classmates were honoured as worthy ambassadors of the Academy.
Senator Mark recalled their years in the military and submitted that a great polymath has fallen.
He stated: " General Malu was a brilliant and courageous officer. He stood to be counted when it mattered. His contributions to the improvement of the Armed forces is worthy of note. We shall miss this great man, officer and gentleman".
He prayed that God in His infinite mercies grants the deceased eternal rest and the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
