Civil rights advocacy group, under the aegis of Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, has expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction with the explanation by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on the cause of death of Nigeria’s first female combat pilot, TOLULOPE AROTILE.
A statement by its National Coordinator, EMMANUEL ONWUBIKO and the National Media Affairs Director, ZAINAB YUSUF, said the best way to handle the mystery is for the Federal Government of Nigeria to constitute a high calibre team to carry out the Coroner’s inquest.
They also suggested that a comprehensive medical and autopsy examination be conducted on her remains to put to rest the suspicions that she was killed because of her exploits against terrorists and armed bandits by internal moles inside the Nigerian military who are sympathetic to the terrorists and armed bandits.
The group condemned the attempt to conceal a very serious matter of state that should be adequately addressed, using the most credible independent mechanisms to arrive at a factually accurate finding.
