PRESS RELEASE
NIGERIAN AIR FORCE STUDENT PILOT FORCE LANDS DIAMOND 40 TRAINER AIRCRAFT

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF) student pilot has force landed a Diamond 40 Trainer Aircraft on the outskirts of Kaduna while on a solo mission, as part of flying training at the 401 Flying Training School, Kaduna. The incident, which took place today, 19 March 2018, was as a result of an airborne emergency that could not enable the pilot fly the aircraft back to the Base. He therefore force landed the aircraft but with minimal damage to it. However, the student pilot, who was the only one on board, suffered minor injuries and is already receiving treatment at the 461 Nigerian Air Force Hospital, Kaduna. The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, 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 aircraft.

A legend somewhere in NE Nigeria. And an article he wrote for the Harvard International Review a year ago.

http://hir.harvard.edu/article/?a=14477

No doughts that he was not in the North-east theatre during the former president regime.

He himself wrote an article on his website, crediting the success to the Nigerian Army troops. Eeben Barlow made it clear that he and his mercenaries where in Nigeria only to train the men of the 72MSF on some hardware they recently procured.
