Another well known Nigerian Air Force Flying Officer killed in Kaduna

Best Graduating Officer at the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) Special Forces Course, Flying Officer, Muhammad Auwal, has reportedly been killed.

Flying Officer Auwa was reportedly killed by terrorists in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna state, on Saturday, 5th September 2020.

The sad news was revealed by a Kano based lawyer, Bulawa Bukarti, through micro-blogging site, Twitter.

Bukarti wrote: ”Flying Officer Muhammad Auwal is 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.”

The death of Flying Officer Mohammad Auwal comes few months after the death of Flying Officer, Tolulope Arotile, the first female Combat helicopter pilot in the history of the Nigerian Air Force.

Arotile died at the NAF base in Kaduna in July after her former classmate knocked her down with a car.
