Post Views: 7

A Nigerian Air Force (NAF helicopter) on Wednesday made an emergency landing on a farmland in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred at Utur Tse-Igboji, Bar Council Ward, along the Welfare Quarters–Mopol 13 Ring Road.
This comes barely two days after the NAF lost 25 personnel in the aircraft crash in the Igbokoda area of Ondo State.

An eyewitness, Stephen Ikpam, said the helicopter developed a technical fault, forcing the crew to make an emergency landing.
Residents rushed to the scene to assist the officers on board. All those on board were said to have survived and came out safely.
The Benue State Police Command has yet to speak on the incident as of press time.
