“I prayed for you seriously that morning and asked you not to worry, asked you for your mission order and who you where flying with, you told me Flt Lt Asaniyi, I said don’t worry you will go, and come back.
“Oh my World you did, you went to Enugu, Owerri and back to Abuja, we did video call, we spoke at length and you were just smiling and laughing, little did I know that that was your last smile and laugh I would see.
