Two persons have been arrested as the investigation into circumstances surrounding the death of Flying Officer, Tolulope Arotile kicked off by Nigerian Air Force (NAF).
This was revealed by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, who gave more clarification on the cause of her death.
“First of all, in my first statement, I said she died from a road traffic accident. I further clarified the nature of the road traffic accident where one of her excited classmates who saw her reversed his car which led to him hitting her and knocking her down. This led to head injuries and a lot of haemorrhaging which ultimately resulted in her death“, he reportedly told The Punch.
Giving an update, Daramola reportedly told The Punch that the two boys suspected to have a thing in Tolulope Arotile’s death are in the NAF custody and the force will dish out necessary information as the investigation goes on. 
“The two boys are in custody and the NAF will do a thorough investigation into the matter. It is a routine process – our own processes that are ongoing because it happened inside a NAF base. At the appropriate time, whatever information needs to go out will go out.”

“But we cannot pre-empt that investigation process. Whatever needs to be known will be known; it is standard practice. So, we are investigating the circumstances leading to her death by a road traffic accident. It is an investigation because it may go beyond NAF“, he told Punch.
