Photos: Inside the Russian cargo plane arms-laden detained in Kano, Nigeria

Inside the Chad-bound Russian cargo plane carrying arms-laden that was detained at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport yesterday morning, according to Premium Times

The Russian airplane intercepted by Nigerian authorities on its way to neighbouring Chad, was transporting a large cache of AK47s and bullet proof vests, and even a helicopter, pictures of the contents obtained exclusively by Premium Times.

The Russian jet, labelled AH-124-100, is a 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.

There is a helicopter inside the aircraft grounded in Kano. It also contains various military hardwares Nigerian officials suspect to be arms, ammunitions and special equipment.
