A Nigerian Air Force jet has been missing for two days after disappearing in Adamawa, where troops are fighting Boko Haram insurgents, the military said on Sunday.
The Alpha Jet, with two pilots on board, left its base in Yola, Adamawa state, on what was described as a "routine operational mission" at about 10:45 am (0945 GMT) on Friday and had been expected back by midday the same day.
"Since then all efforts to establish contact with the aircraft have not yielded any positive result," military spokesman Chris Olukolade said in a statement.
Search and rescue teams are trying to track the location of the plane and contact its crew, he added.
The Alpha Jet was designed and manufactured by Germany's Dornier and Dassault-Breguet of France in the 1970s as a training and tactical support aircraft. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
