Jennifer Olufade, the widow of Flt Lt Alfred Olufade, the
pilot of the ill-fated aircraft that killed 11 military officers, including the
Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, in Kaduna on Friday, said the
late pilot dreamt of the crash a day earlier.
Jennifer, who got married to the late pilot three months
ago, disclosed this in an emotion-laden tribute to her husband which she posted
on her Instagram page, @joba_star, on Monday.
She said she prayed with her husband when he woke up and
narrated the bad dream to her.
She added that after the dream, her husband made successful
trips to Enugu and Owerri and returned to Abuja.
Jennifer said when she received a message from him that they
were again heading to Kaduna, she tried reaching him to dissuade him from
embarking on the trip but without success.
She wrote, “Oh sparkle, you left me so early. Oh, my best
friend, where do I start from? I am broken and pierced, my heart aches. This
wasn’t what you promised me; you said you will always be there for me.
“On 20th of May, at about 4am, you woke me up with fear and
said ‘baby, baby, I had a bad dream. I dreamt that I crashed on my way to
Kaduna.’ You said it looked very real. I prayed for you seriously that morning
and asked you not to worry and asked you your mission order and who you were
flying with and you told me Flt. Lt Asaniyi.
“I said ‘don’t worry,
you will go and come back.’ You went to Enugu, Owerri and back to Abuja. We did
video call and also spoke at length and you were just smiling. Little did I
know that was your last smile.
“The next message I received was that you were going to
Kaduna. My heart shattered, I smelt danger, I started calling you, you didn’t
pick. Why didn’t you pick? Why? I wanted begging you not to go.
“These three months have been heaven for me. We eat together
in the same plate, we prayed together, we laughed and cried together. This
wasn’t the plan you had for me.
“You said you will always be my side. It is still like a
dream that I can’t see you. I know you are coming back to me. All I see is
condolence messages. How do I stand them? Reading them pierces my heart even
more.
“I feel like a failure, I couldn’t stop you, I couldn’t stop
Asaniyi, oh my God, Oh My God. You saw this.
