Photos: Army General Reunites With Retired Chief Sergeant Major

The General Officer Commanding GOC 2 Division, Ibadan, Major General VT Okoro, recently reunited with his first Chief Sergeant Major, WO Adegoke (Rtd.), years after they first met in the army.

According to a tweet posted Sunday by one of Nigeria’s foremost military blogs,…, Adegoke, who was known as DanArewa in the army, and the Maj-Gen. Okoro met while the army general was a young officer at a military formation in Jos, Plateau State.

Although the blog post did not indicate the nature of their relationship at the time, it insinuated that Adegoke was good to the then young officer.

The tweet read, “This is Major General VT Okoro, General Officer Commanding GOC 2 Division, Ibadan, who traced his first Chief Sergeant Major CSM when he was posted as a young officer to 93 Battalion in Jos.

“The name of the CSM is WO Adegoke Alias DanArewa Rtd. He traced him in Ibadan.

“In all you do in this uniform today always be good, for one day you will leave the job for others.”
