This news broke my heart and makes me shed tears,my day is spoiled already. Honestly, so many questions left unanswered, why must this beautiful and intelligent flying officer lost her life in a road traffic accident, What type of accident would lead to this huge, ugly incident, tragic, local and international loss? what type of accident inside the base would make such impact to our national hero? This is a huge loss of talents and a rare gift to Nigeria as whole. She was barely 23 years old and commissioned into service last year October .I hope the family and NAF could set up an independently panel of inquiry to find out what went wrong. Very sad and pathetic, may God comfort her family.

Na so dem dey die useless death for naija airforce.
Some years ago, a friend from Akwa Ibom lost a cousin was already penciled down, for the position of the cheif of air staff.
The guy was invited by a friend for squash game on environmental sanitation day.
The guy refused to return home so his family visit his friend, also an air force man and the man said the guy left after the sanitation exercise.
Na beside the road dem find his dead body, his car was not found his head was covered with crash helmet and he was bleeding form the nose.
This is a man that was trained by NASA, he was described as a lion heart who can do any deadly manouvre in the air.
NASA tried to keep him in America but Nigerian government fought hard to return him to Nigeria.
He was also commissioned at 21, he died at 32.

it saddens my heart, hearing the demise of our own Tolu.
You were shining and glittering like a star � filled with dreams and professionalism. Little did it appear that all wouldn't last here on this grievous earth. .
RIP sweet Arolite!
God bless your family for your sake!!

This is very sad. Not an air crash but road accident in the NAF base. May her soul rest in perfect peace. This is a great loss considering the huge investment.....
All the young and vibrant soldiers are dying daily nobody is talking...while the criminals among them are hiding and stealing money up,down,left,right and center.

How can you say NOBODY is TALKING?
Did you not hear that stupid Buratai say that "Nigerians and Buhari are happy with what he is doing", ...even without asking Nigerians o! shocked shocked

I am also saddened by her death, that's one death too many. But something must be done to ensure more don't happen to our young people, and unfortunately, politicians must have to lead the fight to unravel this mystery and ensure more will never happen.

Please don't support that this tragedy be swept under the carpet like many more before it.

My hope is that the truth about her death is unraveled eventually.

Nigeria is fond of killing her bright minds.

The lady held so much promise, so much life.

It's just too sad. A huge loss for the nation.

If they don't reveal that classmate that supposedly hit her with a car, then we know something fishy is going on.

It will not be swept under the carpet.

MataNonsensical,

Can you not be reasonable for once? How many combat helicopters does Nigeria operate? I leant that MI-24 trainer crashed in Borno or Bauchi State not long ago. Nigerians are so out of it that a person can see the situation on their forehead.
