I still remember playing table tennis with him.

It was with shock that i heard this news. I mean i know it's normal to pretend people were saints after they die, but in this case, it is just the fact. Solomon or Captain Solomon as i knew him in Uniben was just an extraordinary person. His wife Judith won The Miss Skomit or Miss Uniben (forget which) and that's how they met. I even saw him later in Kaduna during my Youth Service and we partied together for months. R.I.P.


"The Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier-General Solomon Giwa-Amu has died in an automobile accident this morning. The accident occurred while the newly promoted officer was travelling to Jaji early this morning.
Giwa-Amu was a former ADC to President Olusegun Obasanjo. He was recently appointed director of public relations for the Nigerian Army.
It is not known if there are others involved in the crash.
This is breaking news. Details will be provided when they become available"
