The unfortunate incident occurred less than a year after another crash claimed the life of former chief of army staff, Ibrahim Attahiru.
Their death has been described as unfortunate and "shocking" by President Muhammadu Buhari who in a statement through senior aide on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, ordered NAF to "investigate this accident...publish and implement the recommendations of the reports of past investigations into air accidents."
My baby lives
Struck by the sad reality of losing a lover, Deedee wrote on Wednesday, April 20:
"My baby lives. Haruna Elijah Karatu, the spirit of just men made perfect. You have joined my cloud of witnesses. The sovereignty of God. We obey.
"We follow. I’m proud of you. This pic suddenly holds a different kind of significance. Dine with the angels till we meet again at his feet.”
