A Nigerian military helicopter on a surveillance mission crashed today in Adamawa State.
Since the beginning of the war against Islamist militants Boko Haram, several military planes and helicopters have crashed in the northeast including an airforce jet which was shot down by Boko Haram militants.
The sect later paraded a Nigerian Airforce pilot and beheaded him on tape after interrogation.
Premium Times reports the crashed chopper was carrying military hardware and some military advisers to the frontline in Adamawa state when it crash-landed in Damare of the state, which is a suburb of Girei Local Government Area.
A Yola-based journalist is said to have revealed that there were arms and ammunition on the helicopter, and that some foreigners were on board.
The crash site is reportedly close to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) temporary camp, that is currently serving as a base for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the state.
Additional information is yet to be revealed.
