An intelligence source has said investigation is ongoing into the intercepted and impounded suspicious Russian-made Antonov aircraft with a chopper tucked in it at Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano Nigeria.

The source said the government’s action includes using diplomatic means to
unravel the mission of the aircraft, its origin and destination.
Responding to THISDAY inquiry, a top military personnel said that all necessary investigations are being carried out to ascertain those behind the impounded aircraft and its contents.

Security operatives at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport said the seized
plane was loaded with arms bound for N'djamena, capital of the Republic of
Chad.
The aircraft with registration number AN 124100 RA 82038 departed from
Bangui in Central African Republic, and was said to have landed in Kano after a
technical problem encountered while airborne.

A security source told THISDAY in Kano under condition of anonymity that the
plane loaded with various types of arms including AK- 47 rifles, military
hardware and two helicopter inside the plane.

I guess from Chad it would have made its way into Nigeria. By the way, is that the real pic of the aircraft?

Ok

So, a plane filled up with weapons--- from the same Russians your Federal Government is buying weapons from--- flew into your Airspace and nobody knew about it until in developed technical problems and landed in your territory? I thought the Russians were your new best buddies, better than the "evil, jealous and wicked Americans that don't want Nigeria to rise"? Roflmao Alas, they are obviously selling weapons to both sides so they can kill themselves. Tomorrow, ignorant Nigerians will sing praises of Israel conveniently forgetting that the country hates blacks and won't hesitate to supply mercenaries and weapons to Boko Haram if the price is right.

Civil war looming.

If that is the aircraft in Kano, That is a Ukraine Antonov Airline cargo plane.

If that is the aircraft, then all this talk of detained aircraft is just rumor.
This looks like an aircraft making a delivery to the Nigerian government.
