A sister to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) personnel, ACW Solape
Oladipupo, who was allegedly shot dead by her boyfriend, has revealed
that she was killed because she ended their relationship.
The deceased’s sister, Jolaade Oladipupo, said the deceased told her a
night before she was killed, how she told her boyfriend she didn’t have
time for any relationship and wanted to concentrate on her studies.
It had been reported that Lt. BA Kalu shot and killed his colleague and lover, Oladipupo Solape on March 12, 2017 over allegation of seeing another man.
But the Sister on Thursday said: “She had always wanted to join the
force. She was a strong girl and always fought for people’s rights.
Before she joined the air force, she had applied to join the police, the
army and navy, without any success. She didn’t give up until her
application to the air force succeeded.
“On the night that she was killed, we had earlier spoken and I
advised her to further her studies in order to get accelerated promotion
in the air force. She told me that she had told her boyfriend that she
didn’t have time for any relationship and that she wanted to concentrate
on her studies.
“She said she planned to buy the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination form. That was the night that the man killed her.
However, the deceased was laid to rest at the Air Force Cemetery, Ojo
Barracks, Ojo, Lagos State on Thursday, where they also had a parade
and a 21-gun salute.
Jolaade, in her quest for justice for her sister pleaded with the
force not to relent in their efforts in ensuring justice, stating that
the sad event was an emotional moment and huge loss for the family.
