A Niger state-based digital television network, Lapai TV, announced the tragic incident  in a post on its official Facebook account on Saturday evening, December 6.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian military has yet to make any official statement concerning about the crash as of the time of filing this report.

ON PRESIDENT BUHARI'S ORDER,A COMMITTEE WAS SET UP TO INVESTIGATE WEAPON PROCUREMENT SINCE 2007.

                                                  Nigerian President,Muhammadu Buhari has directed the National Security Adviser to convene an investigative committee on the procurement of hardware and munitions in the Armed Forces from 2007 till now.The investigative committee's mandate is to identify irregularities and make recommendations for streaming the procurement process in the Armed Forces.Accordingly,the National Security Adviser has constituted the Investigative Committee as follows:AVM J.ON.Ode{rtd}-President,R/Adm J.A Aikhomu {rtd}-Member,R/Adm E.Ogbor {rtd}-Member,Brig Gen L.Adekagun {rtd}-Member,Brig Gen M.Aminun-Kano {rtd}-Member,Brig Gen N.Rimtip {rtd}-Member,Cdre T.D Ikoli-Member,Air Cdre U.Mohammed {rtd}-Member,Air Cdre I.Shafi'i-Member,Col A.A.Ariyobi-Member,Gp Capt C.A Oriaku {rtd}-Member,Mr .I. Magu {EFCC}-Member and Brig Gen Y.I Shalangwa-Secretary.The establishment of the investigative committee is keeping with President Buhari's determination to stamp out corruption and irregularities in Nigeria's public service.The committee will specifically investigate allegations of non-adherence to correct equipment procurement procedures and exclusion of relevant logistics branches from arms procurement under past administrations,which very often resulted in the acquisition of sub-standard and unserviceable equipment.It comes against the background of the myriad of challenges that the Nigerian Armed Forces have faced in the course of ongoing counter insurgency operations in the Northeast,including the apparent deficit in military platforms with its attendant negative effects of troops morale.
