The Agusta AW 101, one of the presidential aircraft recently handed
over to the Nigerian Air Force, has crashed at the Nigerian Air Force
base in Makurdi, Benue State.
The plane, which is a medium-lift helicopter specially designed for
military operations, reportedly crashed due to poor training of crew
members who manned its operation, according to a report by TheNewGuru.
The rate of casualties is currently unknown and there is no
official statement from the Nigerian army. The extent of the damage to
aircraft is still very sketchy.
After the handover, the aircraft was repainted from the initial white and green to camouflage.
