She was walking and got hit from the rear of the vehicle? that said, who was claiming 2nd degree murder? This is involuntary manslaughter, not 2nd degree murder.
It was an accident.
And only in Nigeria would passengers in vehicle involved in an accident be arrested and prosecuted, they weren't in control of the motor vehicle, only one person was driving that car, and only him is responsible for this, not all 3.

That driver will do 7 years for involuntary manslaughter except the parents forgives him. The passengers will be freed after testifying against the driver. The young man and his family will be going through alot even if he isn't charged the guilt will torment for life, I just pity the guy clearly it was an accident but the law must take its course especially when the lady is very popular, I don't even think NAF will back down before NGOs spin conspiracies out of control.

I checked him out on Facebook. The dude appears to be a good human being. It is just unfortunate he caused this freak accident.

So what's your Suggested Alternative to A29 NOTE: Straight up answer

The reality is that l would start from a holistic position.

And ask myself what is the nature of this war and what are the assets needed to anchor our delivery strategy upon.

Military strategy is similar to business strategy and delivery. Best use of resources for the highest output delivery.

First question would be what do we need most ❓ What do you think we need most.

Budget is $600 million.

And how do we achieve comprehensive victory over BOKO and have total control of the NE.

First step would be too restructure completely the para miltary mobile police force. My guess they should be at least 30,000. Re designated and totally re-equipped to carry out a rear guard action and mopping up operation.

The NA needs multiple armoured vehicle platforms desperately NOW not tomorrow. I would source from across the Eastern block 300 T72. And do the upgrades in Nigeria. New Fire control system (incl. FLIR) suspension, transmission and Engine including A/c( Deutz )

Then negotiations with Germany for Surplus stock the same with the USA. That would include MRAP, IFV, APC, LAV. That would be at least 2000 different armoured platforms.

I would look to buy refurbished used heavy lift helicopters such as the MI-17. To increase the supply chain management and logistics of miltary. And absolutely without any doubt at least 50 Wing Loong II UAV.

But back to your question.

Having no choice and had to have an alternative. It would be the Korean alternative the KAI KA-1 which does more or less everything that the A29 does but at a fraction of the cost.

The Peruvian Airforce is using this platform to replace the highly overpriced A29. It bought 20 for $200 million and that included a technology transfer deal with aircraft partly built in Peru.

It's difficult to get the costing of these deals but my projection are that the aircraft will be less than $10 million per unit. They may not be better than the A29 but are definitely comparablen on all fronts technical and otherwise. But again at a far far less cost.

I know they should be all lined up and shot .
In fact let’s not waste bullets have them dig a big pit and bury them .

The issue in Kaduna is a case of insecurity based mainly on banditry, community clashes and kidnapping but some people(mainly political and religious leaders) and the media are trying to change the narrative to make the it look as if Christians are been targeted. This problem is also similar to those been faced in Katsina and zamfara which is also include banditry and kidnapping but only excluding community clashes.
Problems like this would likely continue until the government starts taking border security as it's top priority.

Kaduna and Border? I'm not sure I understand you

E nor easy at all...
One of the reasons my Dad didn't allow me to Join the Air Force he said the Killing at that time In Kaduna Was Too much he doesn't want to be sleeping with One eye closed..
But it's my Dream to Become A NAF pilot I just hope The Take DSSC pilots who underwent Civilian training..

I have a friend his Dad was a very senior officer and well known in the Nigerian Airforce.

At university he joined the officer training programme of the Royal airforce and after completion. Unfortunately he lost a desire to return to Nigeria and resign his commission in the RAF and serv in the NAF.

There are other routes if that's your desire.

People have joined the USAF but again it requires that you are resident in the country at the time.

About 6/7years ago the British did a recruitment drive in common wealth countries.

They went to the Gambia and Ghana but didn't come to Nigeria. I met a lot of Gambian combatants who all did at least 2 tours of Afghanistan.

In all these situations it's almost impossible to pursue if you are resident in Nigeria.

What political nonsense is this,
Is this really necessary, why do they have a patrol this guys like some assassins and force them to taken humiliating pictures
Heck they could truly be innocent.
This guys ought not to say a word without the presence of their lawyers...
The guy without driver license is the one in real trouble even if they are found innocent( meaning no conspiracy to commit a crime, or had even committed a crime)

And no big lawyer is standing up for them, even putting their pictures online is violating their right to privacy

Lol, this is a criminal case, the govt is the alpha and Omega if this case, they alone determine whether it not to prosecute it through the attorney general of the federation or state S174 and 211 of CFRN.
But if it were a civil case, or ( murder or manslaughter)in a true Islamic country that practice real Islamic law, the parent can forgive and no one can institute on their behalf....
Note: The shariah law practiced in Nigeria is not embodying the real shariah rules so even if her parent were Muslims and they forgave them, it useless in law and the position is same because the govt will prosecute. A case on this was Nafiu V state.

of the 300 t72 at least have 200~250 should be converted to Hifv or better still convert all remaining serviceable Vickers and t55 MBT to hifv with 30mm turret from south Africa.

ABUJA, Nigeria—She was so young and daring, and a thorn in the side of ISIS-backed terrorists and bandits in north-central Nigeria. Her profile was rising fast and in her already extraordinary career she’d broken through the military glass ceiling. But the life of Tolulope Arotile, Nigeria's first-ever female combat helicopter pilot, was cut short on July 14 when she died in a strange and sudden accident.

According to the Nigeria Air Force (NAF), Arotile was “inadvertently hit by the reversing vehicle of an excited former Air Force secondary school classmate while trying to greet her” inside the NAF base in the northwestern city of Kaduna.

But not many in Nigeria are convinced the death of the 24-year-old was indeed accidental, especially because her nationwide fame as a talented combat helicopter pilot, and her regular bombardment of terrorist hideouts, had made her a target of armed militants. The manner in which Arotile was said to have died—from the impact of a reversing car—raised suspicion across Nigeria that she was murdered. The country's leading activists and politicians, including the outspoken former senator Shehu Sani, joined her family in immediately demanding an inquiry into the pilot's death. The NAF quickly responded by announcing a preliminary investigation into the tragedy.

Arotile had just come back from an operation in north-central Nigeria, where she was deployed in the fight to rid the region of ISIS-backed militants and other criminal elements by flying combat missions. The NAF said she served as a squadron pilot in what the military named Operation Gama Aiki and flew "anti-banditry combat missions to ensure a safer, more secured Nigeria.”

Russians Are Using African Troll Factories—and Encrypted Messaging—to Attack the U.S.

Since last year, armed bandits and militants, including those with links to the so-called Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), have terrorized a number of villages in north-central Nigeria, killing hundreds of villagers and displacing thousands from their homes. The military's response has been through airstrikes, many of which had been carried out by attack helicopters like those flown by Arotile and her fellow fighter pilots.

Arotile's last combat mission was devastating for the terrorists she targeted, a senior NAF official told The Daily Beast privately. She was said to have carried out airstrikes targeting bandits at Kasuwan Ango Community in Nigeria's north-central Niger State in late June. The Nigeria military had stated last month that strikes by the air component of Operation Gama Aiki at Kasuwan Ango on June 28 and 29 led to the "neutralization of some of the bandits" and the arrest of two foreigners, while the country's press release distribution agency, PR Nigeria, reported that corpses of bandits littered the area of the operation, an indication that the airstrikes killed numerous terrorists. Arotile herself was targeted by the bandits who shot repeatedly at her helicopter before she managed to overcome them.

"Much of our success in the north-central can be attributed to Tolulope [Arotile]," said the NAF official who didn't want his name mentioned as he wasn't authorized to speak. "She was extremely daring and fearless."

The manner in which Arotile was said to have died—from the impact of a reversing car—raised suspicion across Nigeria that she might have been murdered. The country's leading politicians and activists have joined her family in demanding an inquiry into the pilot's death.

The NAF stated on Sunday that its preliminary investigation found that three of Arotile's secondary school classmates—all civilians who live outside the Kaduna NAF base, and who were on their way to visit another friend living in the same vicinity—were in the Kia Sorento SUV that hit her. The driver, Nehemiah Adejo, recognized Arotile after passing her, and "reversed the vehicle, ostensibly in an attempt to quickly meet up with the deceased, who was walking in the opposite direction."

"In the process," said Ibikunle Daramola, NAF director of public relations and information, "the vehicle struck Flying Officer Arotile from the rear, knocking her down with significant force and causing her to hit her head on the pavement."

"The vehicle then ran over parts of her body as it veered off the road beyond the kerb and onto the pavement, causing her further injuries,” Daramola said while reporting on the NAF's initial findings on the pilot's death on July 19.

The three schoolmates were subjected to toxicology tests but no traces of alcohol or psychotropic substances were found in their systems, according to the NAF findings, which also revealed that the driver of the vehicle, Adejo, did not have a valid driver’s license. The trio are expected to be handed over to police, who are set to begin an investigation into Arotile's death.

The late pilot, who was commissioned into the air force as a Pilot Officer in 2017, made history last October when she was winged as the first-ever female combat helicopter pilot in the NAF after completing her flying training in South Africa. Arotile held a commercial pilot license and had undergone tactical flying training on the Agusta 109 Power attack helicopter in Italy. When Nigeria acquired an Agusta 109 Power early in the year, Arotile was asked to introduce the aircraft to President Muhammadu Buhari, during the induction ceremony in Abuja in February.

Arotile once said she joined the NAF simply out of "passion" for the military. In an interview with a local publication after Arotile's death, her father, Akintunde Arotile, recalled when she first developed a passion for flying:

“One day—when she was very small—she pointed to one small aircraft parked on a field and said, ‘Dad, one day I am going to fly that aircraft,’ and I said, ‘Amen,’” Arotile told The Punch newspaper.

Nigeria's leading politicians and institutions have paid tribute to her outstanding contribution to the country's long fight against terrorism. President Buhari recalled her "bravery" and "deft skills in manoeuvring combat helicopters" in a statement his office released shortly after her death, while the House of Representatives said she was “a heroine whose contribution in the war against terrorism and other criminal elements in the country cannot be wished away easily."

Arotile's death comes at a period when Nigeria is facing increased attacks from armed bandits and ISWAP militants in the north-central and northeast regions. A series of ISWAP attacks last month in the northeastern state of Borno killed close to 150 people, including 20 soldiers. The Islamic State-affiliated group suddenly became active in parts of the north-central region, where Arotile embarked on most of her missions, this year.

At a time when Nigeria needs its best hands to contain brutal terror groups like ISWAP, Arotile's death will definitely be a blow to its effort to defeat terrorists.

"I was heartbroken when I received the sad news," Nigeria's chief of the Air Staff, Sadique Abubakar, tweeted. "[Arotile] was one of our shining young stars."

NDA CONCLUDES EXERCISE CAMP HIGHLAND 2020,,,......as Gen Agwai Commends NDA for Maintaining the Standard of Cadets Training

The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has on Saturday concluded Exercise Camp Highland 2020 with battle inoculation in Kachia, Kaduna State.

Speaking at the closing of the exercise in Kachia, erstwhile Chief of Defence Staff, General Martin Luther Agwai (rtd), commended the NDA for maintaining standard of training despite increase in cadets intake.

Gen Agwai urged the cadets not to compromise their loyalty to the nation.

“It is pertinent to state in clear terms that your loyalty is to the Nation must be unquestionable as you subordinate yourselves to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“In the final journey towards the grant of Presidential Commission, you must know that after commissioning, you automatically become leaders of men and women in the Nigerian Army where much is expected of you.

“To earn the respect of your subordinates, peers and superiors you must be very professional and ready to lead by example.
Likewise, you must exert positive influence on your subordinates and equally have an unassailable personal integrity by always doing what you ought to do and not what you want to do.

“As leaders, you are to be compassionate, understanding and have the true grand to defend your men when they have followed orders even when such orders were given in error. Do have the courage to accept mistakes as well as blames when you are wrong, but make sure you learn from such mistakes”, he charged the cadets.

The 3 weeks Exercise was the final outdoor exercise for Army cadets of 67 Regular Course and Short Service Course 46.
