    General Opande, a man of steel and no nonsense military man but humane in equal measure. A peace mediator and keeper who never carried a gun during his mission. An alumnus and product of Sandhurst military academy who was commissioned in 1964 alongside the late Major General Shehu Musa Yaradua, a former Military vice president of Nigeria under General olusegun Obasanjo. May you live long General Opande.
