I have lost a backbone, says elder brother of late Airforce officer

Inibehe Ekpoh, the elder sibling of late officer of the Nigeria Airforce(NAF), Air Vice Marshal(AVM) Mfon Ekpoh, has mourned the exit of the military officer describing him as “a backbone.”

In a social media post Inibehe while mourning the demise of his younger sibling said: “I have lost a backbone.”
