Adama Aduku, the oldest surviving retired officer of the Nigerian army, has died at the age of 101.

The army authorities announced his death on Twitter on Wednesday. Aduku, a World War II veteran, was said to have died on Tuesday morning.

The deceased soldier was reportedly born in 1918 to a farmer at Abejukolo-Ife, Kogi state and joined the army in 1945.
