While commending the public for showing enthusiasm in the search for the missing aircraft, Amosu said the information being passed by the public so far are good but not sufficient enough to define the area of search. He said: "one of our Alpha Jets went on routine operation in the North-east and they lost contact with the control towers and that made us to immediately initiate search. The weather has not been helpful as we have deployed all our surveillance capability, the citizens have been very, very helpful and we have gotten good information from them. "But the information we are getting from the citizens are good but not sufficient enough for us to define the area of search."
