The site of the plane crash that killed the Chief of Army
Staff, Lt. General Ibrahim Attahiru, and other military officers has been
cordoned off by soldiers.
The Nigerian Air Force plane crashed on Friday evening at
the Kaduna International Airport leaving Attahiru, his aides and some other
senior army officers dead.
The Manager of Kaduna Airport, Amina Salami, told Channels
Television that the military authorities have taken over the crash site.
According to her, the soldiers have prevented civil aviation
officials from gaining access to the site pending the arrival of officials of
the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB).
The manager further explained that the crashed military
plane was initially scheduled to land at the Nigerian Air Force Base in Mando
area, but was diverted to the Kaduna Airport due to poor weather conditions.
Salami said that only the Accident Investigation Bureau will
determine the actual cause of the crash.
