The Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC), Oshodi in Lagos has condoled with the family of its late Director of Finance, Brigadier-General Audu James who died on Monday after he was hit by a moving vehicle inside the barrack.
The Public Relations Officer of NAFRC, Lieutenant Commander Bukola Jonathan, told newsmen on Friday that the incident was been investigated. The NAFRC spokesman conveyed the centre’s deepest condolences and sympathy to the family, the Nigerian Army and friends of the general.
“The late Brigadier-General OA James was having a walk back to his residence when a Toyota Highlander with registration number EKY-177-FX knocked him down resulting in an instant death,” Jonathan said.
“Consequently, the driver and the vehicle are in the custody of the Centre Provost office to assist in unravelling the circumstances that led to the very regrettable loss of the senior officer.”
The centre’s PRO stated that the general’s remains had been deposited at 68 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital, Yaba, Lagos.
The tragic incident occurred barely two months after late James resumed at NAFRC.
