The widow of Squadron Leader Peter Baafemi Anala, one of the eight victims of last Wednesday’s helicopter crash, has delivered an emotional tribute to her late husband, recalling his love, selflessness, and dedication to his family and country.
She described Baafemi as her “answered prayer.” Known for his hard work, she said she had never seen anyone more committed to his duties.
Baafemi had vowed never to let her struggle and, according to her, kept that promise by ensuring she never lacked anything.
Her tribute painted a picture of a man who cared deeply for his family and friends, often sacrificing his own comfort for others. She recalled how two months before the crash, Baafemi was in the delivery room as they welcomed their baby girl.
In her words, those two weeks were filled with endless kisses for baby Wendler and the widest smiles she had ever seen from him. The widow reflected on the short, tender moments they shared before his final flight. She lamented the videos she will never receive, expressing the heartbreak of losing him so suddenly.
She vowed to cherish every moment they shared and expressed longing for a “glorious reunion” in the future. Her tribute ended with a farewell: “Baafemi, my love, journey well. I love you.”
