An airman, who witnessed the tragic incident, told newsmen that it happened at Bama in Borno state on Saturday evening.

The aircraft was said to have developed a fault.

The deceased, who was the co-pilot, had gone to the pick his bags and on his way back, he passed through the side of the rotor which was functioning.

“Immediately his head was chopped off,” the source said.

“The aircraft has been recovered and taken back to the air base. No damage was found the on tail rotor,” the source said.

The tragic incident reportedly occurred around 4pm on Satirday.

The source said family members of the deceased have been informed while the burial arrangement was on as of the time this report was filed.

Please read to understand. I said presently, the NAF does not have one. That does not mean it has never had Air Chief Marshals. We had Air Chief Marshals Alex Badeh, Oluseyi Petinrin and Paul Dike, all former CDS.

Rest on Pilot

Simple safety tips would have saved this tragedy. Apart from handling guns and flying the craft, they should also be taught to take safety very serious.


Lord bless his soul.

.A Nigerian Airforce officer can only attain that rank when he becomes the country chief of defence. staff

Even me, when I am driving pass a fly over, my natural instinct is to dock (bend my head). Trust me, if I happen to be anywhere near a chopper, I would be crawling.

Anyway, na when bad thing go happen.

!!! Air Chief Marshall is the rank of the Chief of Defense Staff. Imagine saying the chief of defense staff is deployed to the battle field when is not the kind of battles that iserealites fought in the old testament.
