Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Aide-de-Camp (ADC), Major General Chris Jemitola (rtd), died Thursday morning after collapsing at the IBB Golf Club.
His family confirmed to The Whistler that he was taken to the hospital right away, but that he was declared dead when they got there.
From 2003 to 2007, Jemitola, who was a colonel, supported Obasanjo as his ADC.
Following a distinguished military career, he served as Nigeria’s Defense Attaché in Brazil before rising to the position of Director of Defense Information.
After rising to the rank of Major General in 2014, he served in the Nigerian Army as the Chief of Policy and Plans (COPP) until leaving active duty.
