In a deeply emotional tribute to her husband, the wife of the late Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala described him as her “answered prayer” and a man who devoted his life to his family, friends, and country.

Reading her tribute at the state funeral held at the Black Star Square on Friday, August 15, Ursula Anala recounted how her husband’s dedication to duty meant he had to leave home just two weeks after the birth of their daughter, Wenlie Wesoamo Anala.

She recalled his promise to return in October for the christening of their baby, a promise now painfully unfulfilled.

“Eiiiiii, God! What am I going to tell her in a few years when she starts asking for her father?” she lamented, questioning how she would explain the loss to their child.

According to her, Peter was the “go-to person” for everyone who knew him, willing to sacrifice his own comfort for others.

She described the final days they shared together, filled with “endless kisses” for their newborn, and morning video messages he sent to reassure her during his service.

“This was not the plan, Peter. This was not it! Please come back and tell me this was all a terrible nightmare,” she cried.
