Colonel Sh*ttu A Alao: 4th Chief of the Nigerian Airforce. (extreme left of this photo).

Colonel Sh*ttu A Alao was the 2nd Nigerian Army officer to be appointed to command the Nigerian Airforce.

Colonel Sh*ttu A Alao:

BACKGROUND:

Colonel Sh*ttu A Alao was born in Dorowa Babuje in Plateau State.

He was among the 4 Nigerian Army Officers that were first seconded to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) with a view to taking over command from the Germans.

He took over the leadership of the NAF from Brigadier George Kurubo on 5 August 1967. Following his secondment to the NAF, Colonel Alao was sent to Germany in 1963 for a one-year indoctrination course on all aspects of air force training.

On return from Germany, Colonel Alao was appointed Senior Air Operations officer at Headquarters NAF (HQ NAF).Colonel Alao headed the NAF in its most trying period, that is, the thick of the civil war.

Though unprepared for the war, Colonel Alao infused a sense of patriotism and confidence in his officers.

He led by example and personally carried out bombing raids during the war. A very brave officer and pilot, he died on active duty while on a solo flight in an L-29 aircraft in Southern-western part of the country when he ran into bad weather and subsequently ran out of fuel.

He tried to make an emergency landing, but instead, ran into a tree and died in the process.

Alao, who hailed from Masifa in Ogbomoso, an area known for its military capability in the olden days, was however born in Dorowa Babuje in Plateau State.

His mother hailed from Shendam in Plateau state. Born in October 1937, Sh*ttu Alao attended the First Baptist Day School, Jos, from where he proceeded to the Provincial Secondary School, Kuru, graduating in December 1954. Upon finishing secondary school, he joined the Nigerian Army as a member of the 13th Course, Regular Officers Special Training School, Accra, Ghana.�

A very hefty man, Alao was an infantry officer but because Nigeria was just recruiting and training airmen and none had attained the rank to be appointed Chief of Air Staff, four Army officers had to be drafted to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to organize and head the place including Colonel Sh*ttu Alao, Colonel Udoakaha J Esuene, Col. George T. Korubo and Col. Ikwue. They underwent flying training but only Alao and Ikwue qualified for flying.
