Squadron Leader Ahamefule Aham Man-Ugwueje, one of the pilots of the Nigerian Air Force aircraft that crashed in Ondo State, died just 17 days after his wedding to a fellow Air Force officer.
Man-Ugwueje married Flight Lieutenant Damilola Adekunle in an elaborate ceremony in Abuja on September 19, 2026, before he was killed in Monday’s crash involving NAF 931 in Igbokoda, Ondo State.
The couple’s wedding was held at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, The Masters Place, in Utako, Abuja, while the reception took place at the Nigerian Army Conference Centre in Asokoro.
Photographs and videos from the ceremony were shared by the wedding planner and vendors involved in the event.
