The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has said that its helicopter crashed in the process of landing while returning from an anti-banditry combat mission in the Northwest Theater under Operation HADARAN DAJI.

A statement on Wednesday in Abuja by NAF’s spokesman, Air Commodore IBIKUNLE DARAMOLA, said that details of the cause of the incident, which occurred at the Katsina Airport at about 3.30pm, were still scanty.

There was, however, no loss of life, either of persons on board the helicopter or on the ground.
