I remember some years ago one of the first female Nigerian pilots was murdered by her maiguard and i think her cook. It took the intervention of the British police coming to Nigeria ti catch her killers. As usual the inepitude of the Nigeria Police was embarrassing. The British Police located one of the bank accounts of one of the suspects and found that thousands of naira had been paid in which he could not account for! If she had been ALIVE today - she would be at the top of her profession.
Well done to CAPTAIN IRENE KOKI.
