Female Air Force Officer murdered by Boyfriend for cheating on him

Fresh revelation yesterday suggested that the Air Force personnel, Aircraft Man (ACM) Kalu who gunned down his female colleague and lover for allegedly cheating on him, had planned his action well ahead. 

The accused, Kalu had on sunday morning pulled the trigger of his service gun on his girlfriend, Aircraft Woman (ACW) Oladipupo Solape at their quarters in the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Tactical Air Command in Makurdi when he allegedly found her with another man. 

Daily Trust gathered from witnesses at the NAF base that the lover boy and his deceased girlfriend were course mates at the Air Force training camp and that both began their soldiering career just in January this year. 

It was learnt that Kalu, an Igbo man and his now deceased Yoruba lover had related as two inseparable lovebirds to the admiration of those who knew them until suspicion heightened in the mind of the accused that she was cheating on him with a male youth corps member. 

He was said to have obtained the rifle he used against Oladipupo from his unit at NAF base after the 5am  emergency wakeup parade which allowed soldiers on duty to sign for a rifle for the day. 

A source who has close knowledge of the incident told Daily Trust in confidence, that “The corps member boyfriend had spent the night with the Air Force lady. The way Kalu went about his action proves that the action was predetermined. Early hours of the sunday morning after the sound of the emergency alert about 5am, troops gathered at the appropriate spot to take instruction from their superiors and to proceed to sign for their rifles for the day.

Kalu, after obtaining his rifle had moved straight to the lady’s house where she was with her corps member boyfriend, and shot her in the neck.” 

The source added that Kalu made attempt on the life of the NYSC member who struggled with him until the bullet hooked as he tried to pull the trigger, making it possible for her secret lover (corps member) to escape. 

Kalu, apart from leaving a suicide note behind before embarking on his act, had on the eve of the tragedy hinted on his face book wall that saturday night would be his last moment at the base because he was going to do something that would shock the world. 

He said in his suicide note: “It is a prestige for me writing this because it would be read by most top men. It is a love story of a guy falling in love with a wrong witch who pretended to be good.”
