He is the governor, more like the class prefect if that's what you can relate with. He should have a say here.

In any case, I need an official statement. I want to know what's going on. Not the hearsay, insinuations, conspiracies I have been reading

Musa Kwakwoso has no explanation to make. If he does, there is no way he won't indict the FG. The FG, the CDS, the Ministry of Aviation, the FAAN, etc that owe us explanation.

OrlandoOwoh:
What has our refusal to pass laws that favour gay got to do with this? Even in the US, it is not all its 50 states and territories that have agreed to pass the law. You need to start reading.

I read ok, and I also know states like florida dont have the law, what im saying is that america dont love nigeria and they are directly or indirectly playing a part in this insurgency

You are wrong Sir. He owes us an explanation. And, if the FG is indicted, so be it. We need to know what's going on.

Nlanders, trust me, this is the last you would hear of this incident. We are in a dilemna in this war against BH. The president should be bold enough for once and explain to nigerians what purpose the plane and its contens was meant for. A little explanation on this will change nigerians view about him being clueless and dumb. The first lady should get the president to wake up from his slumber, for heavens sake he is the president of the most populous black nation on earth and not the president of FIJI ISLAND.

lalasticlala:

Why should she provide a link, how are you sure she is not the one that took the pictures, should this be actually made for public consumption, when there is yet no official statement, even though we all know they'll lie.

Madam, we dey wait for more pictures.

The truth is dat Russia is supplying arms to chad who is in turn supplying boko haram jst cos of d newly discovered oil is lake chad near borno. Until we realize we're fighting chad we mayb nt overcome dis insurgency .

LIES AND LIES GETTING PEOPLE CONFUSED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN,mention 3 Russian oil companies that have operations in Africa.

That's a Russian Air Force cargo plane.

The 224 insignia represents 224th Flight Unit of the Russian Air Force.

I didn't know they were still using Antonov from the Soviet era.

So, basically, the weapons are either for the Nigerian government, or Chad (loool).

Something is wrong with this news and GEJ's government is clueless...naija is a jungle.

NafeesaAA:
The plane.

NafeesaAA, inata yimiki PM ke shareni.

NA ONLY GOD WILL THIS NATION

mployer:
There is no script their bro, those arms were being diverted. It is happening, our tanks have being found in the hand of bokoharam.

Why not! When a whole commander ran off on sighting boko haram coming to attack Bama

The painful thing is that the barrack is an armoured battalion with tanks.

I think government are fine tuning / fabricating stories so as to give a robust statement. May God save Nigeria.

Playing by the script during any dubious transactions like this arm deal, the plane is not heading to Chad, the paper works stated Chad so as to create the illusion/coverup for the flight destination and to bypass other airspace flight protocol...*The plane has arrived @ it final destination!* Either to compound the war or to subdue it.

My thought exactly. And we all know BH can't use helicopters. So, it belongs to those running Nigeria.

And why do these folks like buying weapons in the most unconventional way? This can even lead to a diplomatic friction between the two countries cos that isn't just an ordinary cargo plane.

And Jonathan is smiling at the Chad president,meeting and doing oil business with him,selling Chad basin oil to his co-sponsors of boko haram.

Wow that is a nice little observation helicopter. I wonder if it will go on sale now that it is government property.

on issues like dis, d president will need to be very meticulous and diplomatic in his dealing, as it delicate and cud lead to bilateral brkdwn. Nobody knws wat president jonathan and his chad counterpart discussed in their meetings so we shud nt jst assume. I bliv by d time they unravel d misery bhind all dis many nigeria will be amazed.

Ex-Borno Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, In Secret Visit To Arms-laden Chad-bound Plane Detained In Nigeria
A former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, widely accused of sponsoring Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria, may be lobbying for the release of the Chad-bound cargo aircraft confiscated in Kano for transporting large consignment of military hardware, PREMIUM TIMES can report today.

A former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, widely accused of sponsoring Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria, may be lobbying for the release of the Chad-bound cargo aircraft confiscated in Kano for transporting large consignment of military hardware, PREMIUM TIMES can report today.Ali Modu SheriffSahara Reporters Media
Sources at the Aminu Kano International Airport, where the plane is currently detained, said Mr. Sheriff visited the Kano airport at about 10 p.m. on Saturday and held discussions with some officials on the possibility of releasing the aircraft.
Our sources said on arriving the airport, officials allowed the former governor a secret tour of the aircraft, during which he inspected its consignments.
“I was there and I saw him and two airport security officials accompanying him to inspect the plane. I saw the black helicopters and two bullet proof SUVs,” one of our sources said. “I also heard him (Mr. Sheriff) say verbal directive had been given from Abuja for the release of the plane but that authorities of the airport were insisting on written directive.”
Mr. Sheriff could not be reached to comment for this story. His known mobile telephone number was switched off for several hours that PREMIUM TIMES called Saturday. He is also yet to reply a text message sent to him.
The Manager of the Kano Airport, a Mr. Adamu, told PREMIUM TIMES he is in Abuja and was therefore unaware of Mr. Sheriff’s tour of the detained aircraft.
The former Borno governor is a close ally of both the Nigerian president, and the government of Chad – the plane’s final destination.
A 2010 Intelligence report by a Nigerian security agency suggested that Mr. Sheriff was personally involved in the recruitment, training and dispatch of Boko Haram fighters, under the full cover of Idris Deby, the Chadian president.
Chad is Nigeria’s neighbour. Laying on Nigeria’s northeast shoulder, and sharing long distances of unregulated borders, it is considered a window to safety for Boko Haram fighters.
An Australian negotiator engaged by the Nigerian government to bring Boko Haram insurgents to the negotiation table, Stephen Davies, also spoke of how the insurgents named Mr. Sheriff as one of their sponsors during his conversations with the terrorists.
Airport officials told PREMIUM TIMES Mr. Sheriff’s verbal pressures to let the plane go was turned down. He was asked to get written permission from “ogas at the top” – authority high up in Abuja – our sources said.
After inspecting the plane and holding discussions with local officials, Mr. Sheriff reportedly left for Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, in a private jet at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Security operatives at the Kano Airport had seized the plane when it landed at the facility at about 2a.m. Saturday as a result of technical problems. Crew members of the airplane were immediately detained while investigations continued, officials said.
“Security has since been beefed up at the airport in order to ensure proper investigation,” the officials added. The General Manager, Communications, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Yakubu Datti, confirmed the seizure of the plane.
He said the pilot sought permission to land at the airport after the plane developed problems. “The plane had a technical problem and the pilot sought (for) permission to land at the airport’’, he said.
Mr. Datti said security agencies had since commenced investigation into the matter. Security sources told PREMIUM TIMES the plane was travelling to N’djamena, the capital of Chad. PR Nigeria, an agency known for distributing press statements on behalf of the Nigerian military, later circulated a statement saying the aircraft contained “a chopper tucked in it”.
“… Intense investigation is ongoing including using diplomatic means to unravel the mission of the aircraft, its origin and destination,” the statement said. This is the third time since 2009 that planes loaded with arms would be arrested in Kano, our correspondent says. The detained planes were later released after investigations.
The destination of the latest aircraft has however raised concerns amid increasing worries in Nigeria over Chad’s alleged role in the Boko Haram insurgency plaguing Nigeria’s northeast. The plane and its consignment was initially thought to originate from Russia but the Russian Embassy in Abuja issued a statement denying ownership of the AH-124-100 heavy military transport aircraft.
Air cargo experts describe it as one of the biggest serial and strategic heavy lifters in the world. It is intended for the transportation of heavy and oversized cargo and various special-purpose vehicles. Although in commercial use too, the Russian military is beloved to own 14 of the AN-124-100 version of the jumbo cargo jet, manufactured by the Russian Antonov.
