NAF Dismisses Alpha Jet’s Crash

By Gideon Njoku

The Nigeria Airforce says it has no record that any of its Aircraft, was involved in a crash Sunday morning.

In a breaking news, the Daily Post, an otherwise credible medium, had carried the story that a Military Alpha Jet Aircraft, on operations duty from Yola, Adamawa State, had gone down “somewhere in Kaduna.”

Quoting unknown sources, the medium informed that the jet and its crew were on their way, in pursuit of bandits, when it went down.

Following the footsteps of Daily Post, a number of media outlets carried the same story.

However, the Nigerian Airforce has denied there was any such incident, insisting nothing of that nature was to its knowledge.

NAF’s Director of Public Relations, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, explained in an interview that the NAF Headquarters had no such information available to it, emphasising that none of its Aircraft took off from Yola Sunday morning.
