Alfred Ayodeji Olufade, a flight lieutenant who just got married three months ago was said to be among the officers who died alongside Chief Of Army Staff (COAS), General Ibrahim Attahiru in the Kaduna aircrash.
Following his death, friends and sympathisers have expressed sadness.
Olufade, COAS, and nine other military officers were on board a Beechcraft 350 aircraft that crashed near Kaduna international airport on Friday. Attahiru was said to be on his way to Kaduna to attend a passing-out parade for army recruits scheduled for Saturday.
