June 1967 - The Last Salute To A Soldier Of Honour
June 1967 - The Last Salute To A Soldier Of Honour - The face of the Military Governor's widow expresses all the sadness his family feel. He died because he refused to let his guest and superior officer go out alone to his death. It was a gesture typical of Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, a great Nigerian who lived his whole life by the highest principles. Drum offers a last tribute to a man of honour. Upright, loving, unassuming, gallant and loyal, he was described by one Nigerian Journalists the greatest Nigerian that ever lived. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
