"I was a senior special adviser to Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon (Commander of 4th Battalion of the Nigerian Army from August 1965 to February 1966) on secret intelligence information," he said.
Professor Amos said he is an author and lecturer and wrote the book Nigerian Encyclopedia. He noted that he had married earlier, but his wife passed away without a child for him.
The professor and cleric mostly communicated in Yoruba.
