TO SAY AN UNMANNED DRONE I THINK IS WRONG, IT CANNOT BE A DRONE IF IT IS MANNED.

POINT OF CORRECTION A DRONE IS A DRONE THERE IS NOTHING LIKE AN UNMANNED DRONE.
A DRONE IS A DRONE

Doesn't look like Nigeria

I also doubt if that's Nigeria (Borno state in particular). The man in the first picture doesn't look like someone from that area,that applies to the rest pictures. People from that region (majority) dress in native kaftan dresses n some wear turban on their heads. But come to think of this, who snapped n posted d pics? Even Aljazeera n BBC have been complaining that d major reason hindering international coverage of this Boko haram menace have been the issue of access into those remote areas. No roads,network for easy communication,etc. That is why Nigerians don't see images or videos of things happening their. All we get is "dem say...dem say..."

An unmanned drone suspected to be used on the counter-insurgency operation in the Northeast has crashed at Dumge village of Mafa Local Government Area of Borno State this afternoon, KSM News has learnt. Dumge is 30km northeast of Maiduguri.

Earlier today CNN had reported that the U.S. Secret Service is investigating a “device,” described as a small drone, found on the grounds of the White House, a White House official said Monday, and Press Secretary Josh Earnest said early indications are that the device does not pose an ongoing threat.

The Secret Service is sweeping the White House grounds on Monday morning looking for anything else that might be on the ground.

At Mafa, KSM News could not dig deep to ascertain the source or make of the drone but one Muktar Usman says of the drone on the social media as follows: "It could be French. And what happened after that? The drone is still armed. I can see missiles attached to the wings. Locals have to be careful!"

The Nigerian military is yet to issue statement regarding the drone.

As if there was ever a "manned drone". It's called a drone precisely because it is never manned. Nigerians and their ever grand hyperbolic embelishments.

That drone is still armed!

Hope none of those poor souls will trigger it before search party retrieves it, nor Boko Haram gets to it before NAF.
Its like you don't know the kind of nation the US is. That drone has no military business in nigeria. Many of you think its purpose in borno is to counter terrorism but that's a big lie. Few would believe its a spy drone. The united states has many hidden agendas. But who knows, it might as well be owned by the nigerian military, shipped in from other nation. Maybe a testing gone wrong as usual.
