A Nigerian military helicopter on surveillance mission has crashed in Damare, a suburb of Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa state.

A resident, Jamilu Inuwa, said he saw the chopper go down.

“The helicopter crashed in Damare,” he said. “I don’t know if it is a military plane or not.” he said.

A Yola-based journalist however told PREMIUM TIMES he had it on good authority that the helicopter was on surveillance mission and was carrying arms and ammunition.

He said he was further told that there were some foreigners aboard.

“Immediately after the crash, soldiers were drafted to the scene to cordon off the scene,” the journalist told PREMIUM TIMES.

Mr. Inuwa also said the scene of the crash is not far from the temporary camp of the National Youth Service Corps which is serving as a base for the internally displaced persons [IDPs] in the state.

The spokesperson of the Defence headquarters, Chris Olukolade, a Major General, could not be reached for comments just as the spokesperson of the Nigerian Air Force, Dele Alonge. They did not answer or return calls

News of the helicopter crash came about two months after a Nigerian Air Force fighter jet, went missing during routine operations in the northern part of Adamawa State.


The Nigerian Air Force aircraft went missing on September 12.

The aircraft, an Alpha Jet (NAF 466) was involved in the counter insurgency operation against the extremist Boko Haram sect.
