As directed by the Chief of Air Staff, we are confident of a quick and thorough investigation into the plane crash.”

Udoedehe, said the APC,  “extends our condolences to the Nigerian Air Force, particularly the families, loved ones and colleagues of the seven Air Force personnel that lost their lives in Sunday’s plane crash following a reported engine failure. May their souls rest in peace.
