The Nigerian Air Force has debunked news of the crash of an Alpha Jet in Kaduna today.
In a press release, the Nigerian Air Force said it has been notified of a media publication that a Nigerian military “Alpha jet” aircraft has reportedly crashed and gone down in Kaduna state.
The report also said, “the fighter jet left Yola, the Adamawa capital, on Sunday morning to go clear bandits”.
According to NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet on Sunday, the report of the crash is false.
He said, “No crash in Kaduna. No aircraft left Yola for Kaduna. I am making contact and awaiting information from other locations”.
The military has recorded a number of crashes in 2021.
