But prior to the arrest of the suspect, there were speculations that Mr Badeh was assassinated because he was the only one killed during the attack.
Mr Badeh’s friend, who was in the vehicle with him was abducted by the hoodlums but released after his family paid a ransom reportedly running into millions of naira.
The former CDS’ four military guards, who provided security, were said to have been a few kilometres away when the attack took place.
They were subsequently detained and questioned by investigators.
