The Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has presented a cheque of five million naira (N5,000,000) to the family of late Lance Corporal Goselle Nanpon, a Nigerian Air Force officer, who was killed during an operation early this year.

At the presentation ceremony, which was held at the 303 Medium Airlift Group, Nigerian Air Force Base, Ilorin, the governor said the gesture was to provide succour to the immediate family of the deceased.

AbdulRazaq, who had earlier expressed his sympathy over the incident, encouraged the bereaved family to take solace in the fact that the late NAF officer lived a worthwhile life.

Responding, the Commander, 303 Medium Airlift Group of the Nigerian Air Force, Captain Dan Apyeyak, appreciated the governor, describing the gesture as a pointer to his administration’s recognition of the selfless service of men in uniform.

“I want to thank His Excellency most sincerely for always remembering us. His Excellency has been very worthy, upright and standing by us to make sure that we don’t lack in this command.

“On behalf of the family, we are conveying our heartfelt appreciation and a million thank you to His Excellency for this wonderful gesture.

What His Excellency has done will further help people out there fighting to know they are not fighting in vain,” he said.

Apyeyak reiterated the command’s mandate to ensure the security of the state and the country at large, that there will be development in a society where there is peace and security.

The younger brother of the deceased Officer Goselle, his next-of-kin, received the cheque on behalf of the family.
