A Nigerian Air Force Mi-35 Helicopter on a training mission on Monday crashed due to a technical fault at a location South of Bama, Borno State, the Director of Information, Nigeria Defence Headquarters, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, said in a press statement.
Some observers, however, reasoned that the craft could have been blown off by the insurgents who have taken hold of over half of Borno State.
An officer, who spoke anonymously to journalists, before Olukolade’s press statement said, a surveillance jet was shot down by the insurgents around Bama.
But in the press statement by Olukolade, it was revealed that “investigation has commenced to unravel the circumstances that led to the accident.”
He discounted the insinuation that the plane crashed as a result of insurgency attack, saying “it is established that the crash is not as a result of any enemy action.”
Olukolade promised that further details on the crash would be made known after investigation.
Training!!? in war zone? These polimilitary guys have become perfect liars like their politicians mentors. They connive to send innocent soldiers without armaments to go and fight Boko Haram whom they have armed to the teeth. They are growing richer by the day as FG ensures they will never plan any coup, while the frontline soldiers are been killed like chickens. The time will come when all these will be turned against them and their children.
