It's been a really sad past few days for Nigeria and Nigerians in general. We received with great shock the passing of the late Governor Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State. He was in Bayelsa State to attend the burial of the father of President Goodluck Jonathan’s aide, Oronto Douglas, in Okoroba. Upon his departure, the Naval helicopter he traveled in crashed. He was accompanied by the ex-National Security Adviser, Gen. Oweye Andrew Azazi rtd and four others. (Yakowa’s Special Adviser, Dauda Tsoho; Azazi’s bodyguard, Warrant Officer Mohammed Kamal and two Naval pilots, Commander Murtala Mohammed Daba and Lt. Adeyemi Sowole.)
