UPDATE ON AIR INCIDENT INVOLVING 2
NIGERIAN AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT
1. Two Nigerian Air Force (NAF) F-7Ni
aircraft taking part in the rehearsals for the
aerial display to mark Nigeria’s 58th
Independence Anniversary Celebrations were
involved in an air incident today, 28
September 2018. The air mishap necessitated
the 3 pilots to eject from their aircraft,
which subsequently crashed in the general
area of Katamkpe Hill. Regrettably, however,
one of them later died due to complications
from injuries sustained upon impact on the
ground. Thankfully, there were no civilian
casualties.
2. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air
Marshal Sadique Abubakar, on behalf of
officers, airmen and airwomen of the NAF,
commiserates with the family of the deceased
officer. The CAS has also instituted an air
crash investigation to determine the remote
and immediate causes of the incident.
