Nigeria ’s first female combat pilot, Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile, what a sad story that ends an envious history that you made
The unnamed ex- classmate was reportedly reversing the car when it hit Arotile who fell and hit her head on the tarmac.
She subsequently died while receiving treatment at the hospital where she was taken to.
NAF Director of Public Relations and Information Air Com. Ibikunle Daramola revealed this in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.
It stated, “Flying Officer Arotile died on July 14, 2020 at the age of 24, when she was inadvertently hit by the reversing vehicle of an excited former Air Force Secondary School classmate while trying to greet her.
“Before her untimely death, Flying Officer Arotile made significant and outstanding contributions to the war against terrorism, armed banditry and other forms of criminality in the country, flying several combat missions.
Daramola explained that Arotile joined the Nigerian Air Force out of passion for the job.
“I’m deeply saddened by the fact that she did not die in the several combat missions in the fringes of war against insurgents but in a freak accident.” Mr. Arotile lamented
GOD FORBID, WE SHALL LIVE TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOUR Rest in peace dear daughter
