Air Force Plane Crashes In Benue by Racoon(op): 6:40pm On Jul 14, 2023

A Nigerian Air Force FT-7NI trainer aircraft has crashed in Makurdi, the Benue State capital. Channels Television reports that the incident happened on Friday evening, while on a routine training exercise.

The NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, confirmed this in a statement on Friday.

He said two pilots onboard the aircraft survived and were being observed in a military facility. “Luckily, the two pilots on board survived the crash after successfully ejecting from the aircraft. Additionally, there was no loss of lives or damage to any property around the area of impact.

“Both pilots are currently under observation at NAF Base Hospital, Makurdi. Meanwhile, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Hasan Abubakar, has constituted a Board of Inquiry to determine the immediate and remote causes of the crash,” he said.

Details later….

Thank God lives were spared. I remember Dornier 228 crash that killed a lots of army generals and some NAF crew men during General OBJ era. Waiting for the military and AIB report on this crash.

bestman09:
OBJ or IBB? Please say what you are sure of!

OBJ sir. The major military mishap that happened during the time of IBB was the crash of NAF-911 C-130 Hercules military transport plane that departed Ikeja airport on September 26 1992 but crashed immediately in Ejigbo area.

I’m glad no life was lost. Hopefully, a proper investigation will be carried out to prevent future occurrence.
