Officer Muhammad Auwal, the best graduating officer at the Nigerian Air Force, NAF Special Forces Course has reportedly been killed by terrorists while on duty in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna state.
Bulawa Bukarti, Kano-based lawyer who shared the sad news on his Twitter handle said, “Auwal was one of the latest gallant men we sadly lost to terrorists. He’s killed yesterday (5 Sep.) on duty at Birnin Gwari. He’s the Best Graduating Officer at the NAF Special Forces Course that held recently in Bauchi.
“We’ve lost too many brave and promising men to the insecurity raging in our country. Govt officials and politicians must face this problem head-on. They must channel the huge sums wasted on their extravagant lifestyle to this problem and ensure every Kobo is spent transparently.”
Weeks ago, Tolulope Arotile, the first female combatant helicopter pilot in the 55 years history of the NAF died in a freak accident at the Nigerian Air Force base in Kaduna state, eight months after she was decorated by Sadique Abubakar, chief of air staff.
Arotile had just ended a programme at the Starlite International Training Academy, South Africa. She graduated as the best flight student from her set in 2017.
