Director of the National Assembly’s sergeant-at-arms department Air Commodore Sani Zakari (rtd) has been involved in a car accident.
The accident occurred along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway near OLAM Farms.
It was gathered that the retired senior NAF officer is to be flown abroad after sustaining spinal cord injuries.
Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Oladayo Amao has given directives that everything possible should be done to ensure that Air Commodore Zakari (rtd) is not incapacitated as a result of the accident, according to Vanguard.
Zakari said Amao “has done everything to ensure that I am well taken care of.”
“The Air Force has been wonderful. Also the Navy has shown great love and support. I can’t thank them enough,” he told the newspaper.
Zakari, a safety engineer and paratrooper, served as commander 61 NAF, Detachment, Warri, Delta State, and as deputy defence adviser to China, among several tours of duty while in acting service.
