The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has finally exposed the killer of 24 years old Tolulope Arotile, Nigeria’s first female combat helicopter pilot.

The Spokesman of the Air Force Ibikunle Daramola, revealed the killer’s identity during a press briefing a short while ago. Daramola told the world that the driver of the car that ended Tolulope Arotile’s life is one Nehemiah Adejoh whom he confirmed as an ex-classmate of the deceased.

According to Daramola’s statement on the Air Force’s preliminary investigation, “Mr Nehemiah Adejoh, Mr Igbekele Folorunsho and Mr Festus Gbayegun, drove past her in a Kia Sorento SUV, with Registration Number AZ 478 MKA.”

“It is noteworthy that Messrs Adejoh, Folorunsho and Gbayegun are all civilians who live outside NAF Base Kaduna, but were on their way to visit one Mrs Chioma Ugwu, wife of Squadron Leader Chukwuemeka Ugwu, who lives at Ekagbo Quarters on the Base.

“Upon recognising their schoolmate, Arotile, after passing her, Mr Adejoh, who was driving, reversed the vehicle, ostensibly in an attempt to quickly meet up with the Deceased, who was walking in the opposite direction. In the process, 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.”
