Governor Yahaya Bello has extolled the virtues of the Country’s oldest military survival of the Second World War, Pa Adamu Aduku, who passed on at the fulfilled age of 101. The late Pa Aduku, the World War II veteran, who hailed from Abejukolo- Ife in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State, died on Tuesday at the age of 101. Bello stressed that the late war veteran died a fulfilled man and remained a worthy ambassador of the Confluence State. He commended the Federal Government and the Nigeria military for recently honouring the late Aduku, while he was still alive and not posthumously. While praying for Pa Aduku’s eternal rest, Bello noted that the late Aduku would, alongside those who had rendered services to the fatherland be forever remembered in the history of our dear country.
