Taiwo Olufemi Asaniyi, the pilot who flew the crashed
military aircraft on Friday, was scheduled to tie the knot with his fiancée in
October.
Asaniyi, Ibrahim Attahiru, chief of army staff, and nine
other military officers were on board a Beechcraft 350 aircraft that crashed
near Kaduna international airport.
In a Twitter post, Adedeji Adeniyi, a friend to the
deceased, said the pair had recently discussed arrangements for the wedding
before the tragic incident.
According to him, the flight lieutenant was to marry “a very
dear friend” before his death.
“Femi was preparing
for his wedding later in October. We spoke about live band during the week and
all. He was to marry a very dear friend. He flew the plane yesterday. Rest well
Flt LT TO Asaniyi. Rest well everyone that died in the plane,” he wrote.

Another friend of Asaniyi also expressed shock over the
incident, noting that the deceased had enlisted him as the best man for his
forthcoming wedding.
“Flight lieutenant Asaniyi T.O, he flew the plane. We were
planning his wedding, I was going to be his best man,” he wrote.
He also shared a video clip from the deceased’s introduction
with his fiancée in March.
“About two months
ago, at his introduction. FLT LT Asaniyi,” he wrote in a terse post
accompanying the video.
