It was gathered that the newly-appointed Chief Of Army Staff, on arrival, inspected the guard of honour at the sentry from where he proceeded to the conference room.
Yahaya further led others to observe a minute silence in honour of his late predecessor and 10 other military officers who died in the plane crash.
