Nigerian Air Force plane crashes in Yola

A Nigerian Air force plane reportedly crashed on Saturday October 10 in Yola Adamawa state Nigeria, according to a confirmation by the director of defence information for the Nigerian Armed Forces, Colonel Rabe Abubakar.

A statement was issued by NAF spokesman Dele Alonge, containing the crash of the F7-Ni fighter jet which was recorded about 4.23pm around Hong local government area when it was returning to the base. The accident was said to have been caused by bad weather conditions.

''There was no survival as the pilot of the aircraft lost his life in the unfortunate incident.''

Abubakar noted that an investigation panel had been set up “to unravel the remote and immediate causes of the accident”.

The identities of those on board were however yet to be disclosed.
