The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, has paid a condolence visit to the family of Lieutenant Commander Gideon Yashim Gwaza.
The CNS made the visit on Thursday, 22 August 2024.
Recall that TheFact Daily had reported 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 Gwaza was described as a highly dedicated officer who went over and above the call of duty to fulfil mission objectives.
The CNS, during the visit, enjoined the widow and children of the late officer to take heart despite the physical absence of their breadwinner, and further assured them that the Nigerian Navy will not forget Lieutenant Commander Gwaza’s sacrifice and will continue to stand with the family.
Accompanying the CNS on the solemn visit, which was encouraging to the family, was the Chief of Administration, Rear Admiral Kennedy Ezete, the Director Veteran Affairs, Rear Admiral MY Dahiru and the Commander Naval Unit, Commodore ST Lengaya.
