The chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshall Ademola Amosu has said that the Airforce authority has credible information as to where the Alpha Jet which crashed while on a mission in north eastern part of may be.
An airforce jet with two pilots on board while on a mission from Yola to maiduguri disappeared from radar since Friday and a search and rescue operation has been dispatched to locate and rescue the pilots.
Speaking with state House correspondents after meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo, the Air Force chief said the inclement weather in the area has hampered search operations but added that citizens around the area of operation have provided useful information on its possible location.
According to him, “One of our Alpha Jets went on routine operation in the North East and they lost contact with the control towers and that made us to immediately initiate search. The weather has not been helpful as we have deployed all our surveillance capability, the citizens have been very, very helpful and we have gotten good information from them. But you know, in the aviation sector, we have some specific information that we ought to have to make the search easy.
why not set up a commision of enquiry to submit report within 6 months to determine how to go and recover the jet? or are we afraid of bh again?
