Our President must be seen as a weakling, else I see no reason why some countries will be playing with our sovereignty.

Nigerians are bunch of confused people! They lie and accuse innocent nations all in the name of proving a point. Backward people without carrying out thorough investigation before making noises. Noisemakers!

This news is still shocking. I believe if there were no international pressure, some pretentious foreign military will not land in view of searching for the missing girls yet none has been found.

I will not be surprised if those young girls are somewhere in chad crying their eyes out. I think it is high time we marched and protest hard against foreign manipulation and oppression on us using their toy boys - boko haram

This is a blessing in disguise am sorry to say, it will show all those good for nothing religious fanatics that the ongoing war worldwide on this earth is political and is solely for world domination. America, france, england, israel and the likes are all involved one way or the other. Take a look at the gulf war btw iraq and kuwait. Usa supplied unlimited weapons to both iraq and kuwait just for them to acquire the oil rich gulf coast. Same said for the protection of saudi arabia. When saddam hussein refused to do their bidding they killed him and instated a pawn there. Libya case nko? Still Usa that donated all the weapon the militants used. Israel and Gaza war nko? Usa. All for world domination. Think of it. When the seat of usa president is been mentioned they will call it the strongest seat of power! Who dash them? Shey they do election ni? Anytime wahala shele Usa go don run interfere just to be called Baba Agba. We need to open our eyes well and see what is hidden.
A thought provoking story.research on Al mustapha story of abiola death involving USa secretary of state then- Condolezza Rice.

My nephew in KG 1 wont even swallow this crap. What is Nigeria turning to? I wish feb 14 can just appear now so as to vote out this clueless man.
Our president is just so docile.
SMH for the future of this country if we the youth don't act asap.

Those of you that can't wait to see GEJ out of power, I want to remind you that the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm very certain people would wish Jonathan remained in power, if at all he loses out next year. Buhari is not the saviour of this country.

Back to the topic. What exactly do you want Jonathan to do now,that you're calling him docile? Even South Africa that seized our cash for arms still ultimately returned it. Aren't you aware this is a diplomatic issue, and should be handled tactically?

What I hate about many Nigerian youth is that they come online and spew several gibberish against the government, when they are utterly clueless about governance.

Less than 24 hours after denying that the Chad-bound arms-laden cargo aircraft arrested in Kano has links with its country, the Russian government has now admitted that it is indeed Russian.

It however said the military hardware aboard the plane belongs to France.
The Eastern European country had said through its embassy in Nigeria on Saturday night that the plane wasn’t Russian and that it had no link with that country.

“According to the information of the Embassy, the detained in Kano plane, allegedly carrying military hardware on board, is not Russian,” the Russia Embassy had tweeted via its handle @RusEmbNigeria.

But in a fresh round of tweets on Sunday afternoon, the embassy said the plane is indeed a Russian one hired by the French government to convey military hardware for its peacekeeping force in the Central African Republic.

The statement said, “Military equipment on board aircraft in Kano enroute CAR (Central African Republic) via Chad, allegedly owned by the French peacekeeping mission.

“The detained in Kano Russian plane chartered by the French peacekeeping mission in Chad and transporting its property.
“The Embassy is taking all measures to ensure the departure of the detained in Kano Russian plane with the French military equipment on board.”

The tweets were in Russian but translated to English by PREMIUM TIMES.
Media reports had indicated Saturday that the aircraft was Russian.

This story just sounds ridiculous to me. A Russian crew, flying a French foreign affairs plane and then delivering military equipment (both highly sensitive jobs) to the French military in a foreign land

The French need to answer for this, truly. but with this current administration it would be something wiped under the carpet very soon and forgotten.

Sad... Sad

I share your thoughts. We lack a compact corporate governance. Why the noise before doing the necessary checks? Why would anyone say the craft was fully laden with arms?

Nigerians deserve to know what is really going on! We have a lot of questions but few answers.

“The detained in Kano Russian plane chartered by the French peacekeeping mission in Chad and transporting its property.
“The Embassy is taking all measures to ensure the departure of the detained in Kano Russian plane with the French military equipment on board.”
The tweets were in Russian but translated to English by PREMIUM TIMES.
Media reports had indicated Saturday that the aircraft was Russian.
The plane, loaded with arms, bulletproof vests and a chopper, is believed to be on its way to neighbouring Chad, when Nigerian authorities intercepted it.
Although it confirmed the aircraft was being held and investigated, the military did not say where it originated from and where it was headed.
“An Antonov Cargo aircraft carrying some military hardware was arrested at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in the early hours of Saturday 6th Dec. 2014,” the military tweeted via its handle [@DefenceInfoNG].
“Investigation is ongoing to determine the content and origin of the aircraft. Further details will be made as soon as the investigation is completed.”
The Nigerian government is yet to provide any update on the plane since Saturday when the military issued the above two-paragraph statement.
Security operatives at the Kano Airport had seized the plane when it landed at the facility at about 2a.m. Saturday as a result of technical problems.
Crew members of the airplane were immediately detained while investigations continued, officials said.
“Security has since been beefed up at the airport in order to ensure proper investigation,” the officials added.
The General Manager, Communications, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Yakubu Datti, confirmed the seizure of the plane, raising more concerns about the cargo’s purpose.
He said the pilot sought permission to land at the airport after the plane developed problems.
“The plane had a technical problem and the pilot sought (for) permission to land at the airport’’, he said.
Mr. Datti said security agencies had since commenced investigation into the matter.
Security sources told PREMIUM TIMES the plane was travelling to N’djamena, the capital of Chad.
PR Nigeria, an agency known for distributing press statements on behalf of the Nigerian military, later circulated a statement saying the aircraft contained “a chopper tucked in it”.
“… Intense investigation is ongoing including using diplomatic means to unravel the mission of the aircraft, its origin and destination,” the statement said.
This is the third time since 2009 that planes loaded with arms would be arrested in Kano, our correspondent says.
The detained planes were later released after investigations.
The destination of the latest aircraft has however raised concerns amid increasing worries in Nigeria over Chad’s alleged role in the Boko Haram insurgency plaguing Nigeria’s northeast.
Airport officials in Kano told PREMIUM TIMES a former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, visited and inspected the plane late Saturday night.
The former former governor – an ally of both the Chadian and Nigerian presidents – is believed to be lobbying for the release of the plane.
