My heart is in pain. Broken. I lost my friend. Flight Lt. AA Olufade. He got hitched months back and often teased me to get out of the bachelorhood. Rest well Freddy.

My friend of 18years.Classmates since Secondary school.. Housed me at the Air Force base in Kaduna for one when I started my Masters degree at the Nigeria Defense Academy Kaduna. This was not the plan brother. One more drink night with you is all I want.

Okey @Okeydegeneral

Barely two months ago, we were all together at the home of FLT LT Alfred Olufade to celebrate his marriage ceremony. Hearing the news of your demise is shattering to say the least.

A friend, a brother and a confident. May God rest your soul

ShadeFames @Jadesh24 while noting that the pilot died not too long after his wedding lamented the speed with Nigeria is losing her stars.

Yes, being prepared is good but not all are quick and random as Nigeria’s. So sad, Nigeria’s force is loosing many bright minds and resources to too many crashes. Serious Foreign nations will count us as nothing
