On Sunday, the Nigerian Air force revealed the identity of the the one responsible for the death of Arotile.
At the just ending briefing in Abuja, Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information revealed the ex-classmate of Tolulope who knocked her down as Mr Nehemiah Adejoh.
Giving a detailed report upon investigation, Mr. Daramola said Tolulope met with three of her school mates at the scene of the incident.
He said:
“Mr Nehemiah Adejoh, Mr Igbekele Folorunsho and Mr Festus Gbayegun, drove past her in a Kia Sorento SUV, with registration number AZ 478 MKA. It is noteworthy that Messrs Adejoh, Folorunsho and Gbayegun are all civilians who live outside NAF Base Kaduna, but were on their way to visit one Mrs Chioma Ugwu, wife of Squadron Leader Chukwuemeka Ugwu, who lives at Ekagbo Quarters on the Base.
“Upon recognising their schoolmate, Arotile, after passing her, Mr Adejoh, who was driving, reversed the vehicle, ostensibly in an attempt to quickly meet up with the deceased, who was walking in the opposite direction. In the process, the vehicle struck Flying Officer Arotile from the rear, knocking her down with significant force and causing her to hit her head on the pavement. The vehicle then ran over parts of her body as it veered off the road beyond the kerb and onto the pavement, causing her further injuries.”
