“sources however revealed that the incident happened after the jealous Aircraft lover suspected the deceased was cheating on him,” if this is true, Kalu should be killed also. His emotions are not supposed to overcome his reasonings for any reason. He went through force training before he eventually became Air force personnel, they must have been thought how to separate their emotions from what ever thing they are doing.

I hate to read news about lovers killing themselves because one of them cheated or out of jealousy. It is so sick, this idiot is a disgrace, not only to air force, but all forces.

The fact is that how did he get the gun he used in killing her as guns are not allowed in the individual house of soldiers in the base. The lady is too beautiful and young to die. I urge airladies to always marry civilians and not their work colleagues

That is not issue but ladies should marry matured men. The guy is not matured a man yet.

Jealousy is a cankerworm that destroys the lives of young guys and ladies. Now the guy himself will be killed thereby regretting his actions. Soldiers’ lives are full of cheating on each partners so they should have known this for long although they are still young. I hope federal government will announce another airforce recruitment exercise to replace these two.

That is if they wish to recruit people to replace the two people that left
