Another  military aircraft crashes in Kaduna

A Nigerian military aircraft has reportedly gone down.

The location was given as “somewhere in Kaduna State”.

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.
