TOLULOPE AROTILE: Here is the Last Operation She Reportedly Carried Out Before Her Untimely Death

Tolulope Oluwatoyin Sarah Arotile was the first-ever female combat helicopter pilot in the Nigerian Air Force.

She was born to the family of Akintunde Arotile on 13 December 1995 in Kaduna , she was once a student of the Air Force Primary School in Kaduna, from 2000 to 2005, and was also once a student of the Air Force Secondary School, Kaduna, from 2006 to 2011, before she was later admitted into the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, as a member of 64 Regular Course on September 2012. She was commissioned into the Nigerian Air Force as a pilot officer in 2017.

During her short spell, Late Arotile contributed immensely to combat the operations against insecurity in the northern states of Nigeria. 

However Arotile died last week from head injuries when she was knocked down by a car driven by Adejoh at the Kaduna NAF base.

Meanwhile, Tolulope Arotile last operation was the Operation GAMA AIKI in Minna, Niger State.

Arotile just came back from Operation GAMA AIKI in Minna, Niger State, where she was deployed in the fight to rid the North-central states of armed bandits and other criminal elements by flying several combat missions.

She was targeted severally by the bandits in the operation and they shot repeatedly at her aircraft but the dogged fighter engaged her combat skills and evaded them, while successfully carrying out what she was deployed for.

It was after this operation, she was knocked down by a car inside the NAF base in Kaduna.
