A Nigerian military aircraft has reportedly gone down, according to Daily Post.
The location of the crash was given as “somewhere in Kaduna State”.
Information is still sketchy as to the number of crew and if there is any casualty.
A source told DAILY POST that the crashed plane is an Alpha jet.
“The fighter jet left Yola, the Adamawa capital, this morning to go clear bandits”, the informant added.
Nigerian Air Force spokesman, Air Commodore Edward Gabwet, could not be reached as at press time.
Mohammad Abdulkadri, Special Assistant to the Defence Minister did not take calls.
The military has recorded a number of crashes in 2021 alone. In fact, this will be the fourth this year.
In May, an air mishap claimed the lives of serving Army Chief, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and other officers.
