Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to suspend the burial of late Flying Officer Tolulope Arotile until the conclusion of investigations into the circumstances that led to her death.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) had announced Saturday that the late Arotile, Nigeria’s first female combat helicopter pilot, who died on July 14, will be laid to rest at the National Military Cemetery in Abuja on July 23.

It also said Arotile, who was 24 years until her death, was knocked down by her former schoolmate who was excited to see her at the NAF Base in Kaduna.

But Adegboruwa, a human rights lawyer in a statement on Sunday, said there is no point in rushing her burial until a proper investigation is concluded so that Nigerians can know the truth about how she died.

The statement reads: “The sudden death of Tolulope Arotile has caused a national mourning in this time of COVID-19 pandemic.

“It is tragic, painful and gruesome. The inconsistent stories emerging from the Nigerian Air Force has not helped to douse the suspicions.

“The least we expect is a proper investigation, followed with a Coroner’s Inquest, including an independent autopsy report.

“There is no point in rushing to bury her in the light emerging revelations.

“These are the questions:

Who drove the car?
Where did the accident happen?
Where was Arotile going to?
A reversing car means it had passed her, so was she trekking?
Was she blindfolded not to see the reversing car to escape?
Were her legs tied?
What kind of medical treatment did she receive?
In which hospital was she treated?
Who called her out from her rest after a successful air combat on bandits?
Why are there inconsistent statements from the Nigerian Air Force, being released in bits and pieces?
“Many more questions indeed. .I urge the President to direct a full investigation into her death, to suspend the burial plans until the conclusion of the investigations.”

Barrister Ebun is making a lot of sense

Why are the Yoruba taking the young lady's death personally as if she is from SW.. She bears Yoruba name but she is from Kogi state.

Would they have defended her if she committed a crime against her country by working in collaboration with BH ( Just saying).

Enough abegiiii. The army said they will release their report today, why not wait for that first?

They should allow the girl to rest in peace jor..

Nice points he gat there..

May God grant the deceased eternal rest

make dem leave this matter

her death was a careless scenario.

may her soul keep resting in peace

I pity Nigerians because they don't know that all their country's security forces have been hijacked by Jihadists.
You don't need to be super-smart to know that this young lady was murdered by some top ranking officers(Jihadists) because of her skills in eliminating boko Haram from the skies.
Smart southern soldiers are resigning while FG is recruiting (repentant) Boko Haram fighters into our forces.
Very soon, our security forces will be 90% boko Haram, 10% southerners after that, they unleash FULL jihad in Nigeria.

CURSE BE TO ALL THOSE WHO VOTED & BROUGHT IN APC IN 2015.

I do ponder about this every time that "will good thing ever come out from this country" Cos lots of destiny wrecker are many in this nation

He should let the family decide what they want. So many inconsistencies bo doubt however, bjruing her doesn't stop a thorough investigation and delaying the burial doesn't guarantee a thorough investigation either.

Seconded.

If truly there's a conspiracy behind her sudden death, may the conspirators know no rest till her death is avenged; and may everything God created begin to work against them. Amen.

A young national hero was murdered in a strange circumstance in an Air force Base and you think the cause of her death should not be thoroughly investigated because she is from Kogi & not a core yoruba?
This evil Jihadist government you guys are supporting against your people for a mere N30k monthly stipend will surely hunt you & your families. I promise you that.

because you have not stepped out of your state that is why you don't know the history of your country, for your information, kogi west is yoruba.
I will advise you go back to primary school, learn state and capital, history, and finally, LEARN COMMON SENSE

People are empathetic and making sense about the young girl's death but you're angry at Yoruba. How can you be successful moving on with so much hate in life?

it's sad to die young. RIP to the dead.

My thoughts exactly.. why the rush to bury her when the case is under investigation.

Justice must be served on her killers.
