By The Nigerian Air Force, Sunday, said that the death of flying officer, Tolu Arotile, was caused by what it describes as brute force and severe injuries following a road traffic accident at NAF Base Kaduna on Tuesday.
In a news conference on Sunday, the spokesperson, Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, said the military is ruling out any possibility of foul play in the death of the young flying officer.
Commodore Daramola also confirmed that the driver of the vehicle that knocked down the late officer, Mr Nehemiah Adejo and the two other occupants of the car will be handed over to the police for prosecution since it is a civil case.
Meanwhile, a military source had earlier confirmed that the driver who knocked down Arotile is a civilian who had no valid driving credentials.
According to the source, the driver was also her secondary school classmate.
The family of the late officer and some prominent Nigerians have called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to her death.
