Nigeria, Oct. 7 -- Twenty years after Flight Lieutenant Damilola Adekunle lost her father in a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) plane crash, her newlywed husband died in Monday's crash of another NAF plane.

Ms Adekunle's father, Wing Commander E.O. Adekunle, was among the 13 military officers killed when a NAF Dornier 228 aircraft crashed in Vandeikya, Benue State, on 17 September 2006.

The aircraft, which was travelling from Abuja to Obudu in Cross River State, crashed while carrying senior military officers to a retreat.

Wing Commander Adekunle was one of the two crew members of the ill-fated aircraft.

The 2006 crash claimed the lives of 10 army generals, a lieutenant-colonel, and two wing commanders.
