Popular Nigerian singer, Niniola, has said she can never get over the trauma of watching the assassination of her father, Simeon Apata, a retired Nigerian Army Brigadier-General.

Coolbase News recalls that Gen. Apata (rtd.) was assassinated by gunmen on January 8, 1995, in Lagos, in the presence of his family.

Speaking about the tragic incident in an interview with media personality Jay On Air, Niniola said she was her late father’s favourite child and was in the house when the incident occurred.

Ninola added that she can never get over the tragic incident.

She said, “I was in the house when my dad was murdered. And I was his favourite child so you can imagine [the trauma]. Till today, I’m not over it. I can never get over it.

“I was very young when it happened. I don’t remember my exact age then but it wasn’t a good memory.”
