The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said they did not conduct an autopsy following the death of Flying Officer, Tolupe Arotile because the family were satisfied with the agency’s investigations and did not call for an autopsy.
This was disclosed by the Spokesperson for the Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola who made an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday.
According to him, the family of the deceased were satisfied with investigations carried out by NAF and did not request for any autopsy.
