Missing NAF Fighter Jet Found Crashed Outside Maiduguri by dalexz4(m): 2:11pm On Apr 03, 2021 |
The Nigerian Airforce on Friday announced that the missing Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Alpha Jet aircraft (NAF475) has been found. It was discovered to have crashed at Abba-Jille in Konduga LGA outside Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. However, a statement signed by Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said: “The cause of the crash as well as the whereabouts of the 2 pilots remain unknown.” According to the statement: “The pilots are Flight Lieutenant John Abolarinwa and Flight Lieutenant Ebiakpo Chapele. Extensive search and rescue efforts are still ongoing by NAF surveillance aircraft as well as NAF Special Forces and Nigerian Army troops on the ground.” The plane reportedly lost contact with radar in Borno State, at about 5:08 p.m. on 31 March 2021 while supporting ground forces in the war against Boko Haram terrorists. “The mission was part of the ongoing counterinsurgency operations in the North East.” The Boko Haram terror group has claimed responsibility for the crash, saying it shot down the aircraft. It showed a viral video in which the terrorists were seen shooting down the aircraft, which came down in flames. Nevertheless, the Nigerian Air Force debunked the Boko Haram claim, dismissing it as fake. The NAF spokesman said the viral video could be clips from a previous incident, insisting that the scene showed that the video couldn’t have been shot in the northeast, considering the lush vegetation. Gabkwet, said: “We have seen some videos but there is nothing that has proven that the aircraft in those clips belongs to us, or have you seen a Nigerian Air Force aircraft number or the body of Air Force pilot or have you seen any Air Force uniform until we get all these details to strengthen out, we are not going to go into speculation. “That video could have been shot somewhere. I have seen four videos so far, one of them has lush vegetation in the background, and I wonder where they have such vegetation in the Northeast. Unless they did something and they are releasing the clips bit by bit, we are waiting. “Except we have evidence because like I said, these persons have families and you cannot go to their wives, parents, or wards, you must bring concrete evidence. There must be something to show.” SOURCE: https://matrixliveng.com/missing-naf-fighter-jet-found-crashed-outside-maiduguri/ |

dalexz4: C Wat apened, the pilots parachuted out and allowed the plane to land crashed..... The pilots were hijacked and were forcefully taking away, so that the BH boys video claims can come to set confusion.... Not until we get more proofs all these serves as speculations and imaginary opinions |

Buhari gave Buratai $1bn to buy sophisticated weapons for BH & Foolaniy insurgents. That is why they have become stronger than our army... |
