Nigerian Air Force Helicopter Crashes Into Water In Borno by Nairalandsss(m): 4:30pm On Jul 06, 2017
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) confirmed on Thursday that one of its helicopters crashed into a pool of water in Maiduguri, Borno State.

However, no life was lost in the incident.

The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has constituted a panel of inquiry to unearth the cause of the incident.

A statement issued by NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, said members of the board of inquiry are already in Maiduguri to carry out their assignment on the crash which occurred in the early hours of Thursday.


The statement reads: “A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Agusta 109 Light Utility Helicopter has suffered a mishap while undertaking a liaison mission targeted at further enhancing the synergy between the Nigerian Army and the NAF in the ongoing counter-insurgency operation in the North East.

“The incident, which occurred today, 6 July 2017, was as a result of an airborne technical fault with the helicopter.

“The experienced NAF pilots, however, successfully ditched the helicopter into a pool of water to minimize damage and loss of lives.

“Consequently, there were neither any injuries nor loss of lives to anyone on board or on the ground.

“The Chief of the Air Staff has immediately directed the constitution of a board of inquiry to determine the exact cause of the incident while efforts are ongoing to recover the helicopter and members of the board are already in Maiduguri to commence work.

“The NAF continues to solicit the understanding and support of the general populace as it daily strives to ensure the security of Nigeria and Nigerians.”

No life was lost right ? They wouldn't even reveal it if there was a lost of life. Am not surprised tho, almost all the equipments shipped to the North East to fight the insurgents are the same equipments that were used during the civil war so why wunt there be mishaps

You should be more concerned about your atrocious grammar rather than who sponsors BH.

You're a grammatical terrorist. Grammar Haram.

When i read stories like this i cant help but imagine how messed up this country is.
Nigerian airforce is not in an all out war with any country yet you hear stories of an avoidable crashes every time, am sure this will be swept under the carpet with no proper investigation by the pot bellied incompetent generals chosen by the nonsense quota system.
Other armies of the world flies hundreds of fly time but you hardly hear of these mishap.
Am now forced to ask what if nigeria is at war that requires aerial routine 24/7 sorties, am sure all of our war planes will self distruct.
No wonder nigeria is ranked 5th most dangerous place in the world.

Again, must we always constitute probe into everything in Nigeria. Except that is to ravel the actual reason for the failure so as to avert future occurences.
