 NAF COMPLETES LOCAL REASSEMBLY OF FIRST TWO H125 HELICOPTERS IN LAGOS The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully completed the local reassembly of its first two H125 helicopters at NAF Base Ikeja, Lagos, following their delivery by Airbus. Conducted with the support of Airbus technical personnel, the exercise marks an important milestone in strengthening technical collaboration, facilitating knowledge transfer and enhancing NAF personnel’s practical exposure to the support and maintenance of modern rotary-wing platforms. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, described the development as a positive step towards strengthening the NAF’s technical and operational capacity.

Ukraine’s Vladyslav Heraskevych barred from Olympics for wearing helmet honoring fallen soldiers


  Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych, a top medal contender at the Milan-Cortina Olympics, was barred from competing Thursday after refusing the International Olympic Committee’s request to remove a helmet honoring more than 20 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed in the war with Russia. The decision came just 45 minutes before his scheduled race, ending a three-day standoff over the helmet, which the IOC said violated rules against political or personal statements on the field of play.

Heraskevych had worn the helmet during training, but the IOC offered alternatives, including wearing a black armband or displaying the helmet after his run. “I believe, deeply, the IBSF and IOC understand that I’m not violating any rules,” Heraskevych said, calling the decision discriminatory since other athletes had expressed personal messages without repercussions. IOC President Kirsty Coventry met with him privately at the track but was unable to reach an agreement. The IOC expressed regret over the ruling, stressing that it supported the message of remembrance but sought to maintain neutrality on the field of play. Heraskevych plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the race went on without him, ending his Olympic campaign. Fellow Ukrainian athletes and supporters condemned the move as unfair and inconsistent, citing previous cases in which athletes honored the deceased without penalty.
