CHIEF OF THE NAVAL STAFF CONDOLES FAMILY OF LIEUTENANT COMMANDER GIDEON YASHIM GWAZA.
On Thursday 22 August 2024, the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla paid a condolence visit to the family of Lieutenant Commander Gideon Yashim Gwaza.
Recall that Lieutenant Commander Gwaza passed on heroically in the early hours of 30 July 2024 when he led his team to rescue 59 persons on the verge of drowning onboard a dredging vessel, MV AMBIKA 4 at Okpobo River entrance.
Lieutenant Commander Gideon Yashim Gwaza was a highly dedicated officer who went over and above the call of duty to fulfil mission objectives.
The CNS enjoined the widow and children of the late officer to take heart despite the physical absence of their breadwinner. He further assured them that the Nigerian Navy will not forget Lieutenant Commander Gwaza’s sacrifice and will continue to stand with the family.
The visit was solemn but encouraging to the family. The CNS was accompanied by the Chief of Administration, Rear Admiral Kennedy Ezete, the Director Veteran Affairs, Rear Admiral MY Dahiru and the Commander Naval Unit, Commodore ST Lengaya.
