When Taiwo Olufemi Asaniyi, the pilot who flew the crashed military aircraft decided to fly the aircraft on Friday, little did he know it would lead to the end of his life.
Unknown to many, Asaniyi 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 pal of the departed, said the pair had recently discussed arrangements for the wedding before the sad 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.
