A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa,
says the sudden death of Tolulope Arotile has caused a national mourning.
He expressed sadness over the passing of the Nigeria’s first
female combat pilot.
In a statement on Sunday, Adegboruwa called it tragic,
painful and gruesome.
“The inconsistent stories emerging from the Nigerian Air
Force (NAF) has not helped to douse the suspicions”, the SAN said.
He noted that the least Nigerians expect is a proper investigation,
followed with a Coroner’s Inquest, including an independent autopsy report.
Adegboruwa stated that there is no point in rushing to bury
her in the light emerging revelations.
The legal practitioner further asked the NAF 10 questions
about the incident.
“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?
He also quipped: “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 NAF being released in bits and pieces?”
The senior lawyer urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct
a full investigation into the death and suspend the burial plans until the
conclusion of the investigations.
Other Nigerians and groups are insisting on a thorough
probe.
On Saturday, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode,
said he suspected that Arotile was murdered.
