By Gideon Njoku

For the family of a female Air Force Officer, Squadron Leader HE Godos, Friday, 23rd December, will forever remain a day of lamentation, sorrow and tears.

The Rtd Officer, was gruesomely murdered in her home in the Bassa area, near  Rukuba, Jos. She was macheted to death, And, as an added heartbreak, her assassins kidnapped her son.

As if to pour petrol on a raging wild fire, the cruel assassins are asking for the sum of N100m to release the kidnapped young man.

Reacting to Godos gruesome murder, a colleague of hers lamented: “She crossed oceans and seas, and drowned in a flood.

He is correct.

Godos was one of the officers who went for a United Nations Peace Keeping Tour of Duty. Known for her dedication to her job, even though she was from Nasarawa State, she opted to settle in

Plateau State,on retirement.

She had separated from her husband, and so wanted a quiet life, and especially, to enjoy her retirement.

Colleagues say it was one of the reasons she chose to build her house in the Bassa Area, near Rukuba, Jos, a sparsely, quiet built-up area.

Sadly, instead of peace, she suffered a violent death.

According to witnesses, her body was taken to NAF Hospital, Jos, by officers and men of the Operation Safe Heaven, who met her in the pool of her blood.

The NAF authorities in Jos are said to be working round the clock to unravel Godos murder, and are on the trail of her assassins.

At the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from either the NAF or the Plateau State Police Command.
