Nigeria mourns over the unexpected death of the top ranking Army Chief Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru in a plane crash on Saturday. Along with the Commander, ten other officers lost their lives in the unfortunate accident. The bodies are buried in Abuja. According to sources, the reason for the crash is bad weather. This is the 3rd air disaster and the army posted videos on social networks of the service attended by political and military leaders at the national mosque.

Lucky Irabor, Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff said that “21st day of May 2021, was a very sad day for the Armed Forces. After landing at the Kaduna International airport, the cold hands of death which manifested in the stormy weather ended that journey. The war against insecurity must be won, truly must be won. All we ask of you is to keep praying for us.”
