He was based in Nassarawa state and commuted often between Adamawa where he was born, Nassarawa and Abuja. Alex Badeh owned a farm. He was assassinated after a trip to his farm on December 18th, 2018. Alex Badeh lived his best years under Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure as President of Nigeria. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) began interrogating Alex Badeh after Muhammadu Buhari assumed power in 2015.
Alex Badeh passed away a month before his 62nd birthday. Badeh was assassinated along Abuja-Keffi road in Nassarawa State. He was gunned down on his way home from his farm with a friend and a driver.
