EJIGBO DISASTER
On September 26, 1992 Nigerian Air Force C-130H Hercules with serial number 911 crashed in Ejigbo, Lagos.
The aircraft, which crashed into a canal shortly after taking off from Murtala Muhammed International Airport was carrying over 150 senior military officers returning to Kaduna, with no survivors
They were young officers all commissioned and they were the finest of their era. The nation lost them. While we thought then that it could perhaps be the last of such bitter loses, we never knew that the worst was coming our way.
Indeed, we are presently witnessing the worst. Not by accident but our leaders and the led are just watching as the finest of our soldiers are being killed by terrorists branded bandits by Late President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sadly, these soldiers according to reports were the ones taking on the terrorists headlong abd sacrificing everything within their powers to defend their fatherland and save their compatriots.
