Boko Haram Threat: Did Nigeria, NAMA Take Down Crashed IRS Airplane?
May 12, 2014 – Boko Haram Threat: Did Nigeria, NAMA Take Down Crashed IRS Airplane?
A team of officials from Nigeria’s aviation regulatory agency, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Accident, Investigation and Prevention Bureau (AIPB) has been dispatched to Niger Republic to probe the cause of an air crash involving IRS Airline, an indigenous carrier. A statement by Yakubu Dati, spokesperson for aviation sector parastatals yesterday read in part: “The Supervising Minister of Aviation, Dr Samuel Ortom, has ordered the Accident Investigation and Prevention Bureau (AIPB) and other relevant agencies to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident.” A Folker 100 belonging to IRS Airlines, a Nigerian aviation company owned by Alhaji Ishiaku Rabiu, at about 7:30pm on Saturday, lost contact at Ganla and crashed in Niger Republic.
The aircraft marked 5N-SIK and returning from a C-Check was said to be heading for Lagos when it crashed few minutes before entering the Nigerian airspace.
Two crew members on board however survived. But it was gathered that while international civil aviation acceptable standards permit only the country in which the accident occurred to carry out investigations, the Nigerian Government is interested in being a party to the investigation, due to recent terror threats to the country and that Niger, a neighbouring country, is said to be a major training and hideout zone for such terror groups.
Nigeria’s Commissioner for AIB, Dr Felix Abali, told journalists that aviation authorities had dispatched accident investigators to Niger Republic for accreditation to cater for Nigeria’s interest. Abali expressed the readiness of Nigeria’s AIB to undertake the task of investigating the cause of the accident if invited by the Nigerien Aviation authority.
“We have the capacity and means to conduct the investigation if so invited,” said Abali.
He stated that AIB was the only independent accident investigation body with flight laboratory in the sub region and was staffed with highly trained aircraft accident investigators.
Here is a twist to the story:
Due to the recent Boko Haram threat, do you think NAMA took down the plane?

Brilliant observation @ author
It is possible now dt we have anti-terrorism experts in the country but they won’t admit it
It is also possible Niger Republic took down d said aircraft on the instruction of Nigeria.

Oluwadunni ! haba,you failed it this time,I think the zombie is madly,hopelessly and stupidly in love with my NAME “R E D”.Didn’t you notice that anytime he start missing me and am not here,his mind and heart start racing faster than Bolt Usain with worries so instead of him to ask of me,he plays the stupid tough boy and call on on me the way his little brain directs him,he will be quite once he sees am back on and he will calmly crawls back to his life till he start missing me again.if you know him very well,tell him i don’t like fools,Tell him i said i love love love the attention he is generating for me and to that i say thank you,keep it up even when am not there,he is a true fan of red.but i will love to hear his bone crack under my tires as my permante autograph to him as a reminder that am always around.

Kc4life,i’ve no problem with anybody trust me,but as human people must have problem with you that’s a must,especially when you are who you are.did you see me call on anybody in this site or ever try correcting anybody on their comments.NO UNLESS YOU ASK FOR ME.Some Nigerians don’t like southern belle unless you join the forward March group if not they will claim you are proud or full of pride.? They missed me so i came to feed them what they deserves simple.sorry for troubling you dear.Just look at it as part of naijagist.com unscritp comedy to ease off tension in the house.
I actually stopped commenting here and even made it known for PEACE to lay in the house for them and stop living in pain whenever they see my name,YET they still CALL ME EVEN WHEN AM NOT HERE,THIS IS PURE CYBER BULLYING WHICH MIGHT MAKE THE WEAK COMMIT SUICIDE.IF I SHOULD UNLOCK MY RELATIONS THAT I BLOCKED FROM COMMENTING HERE ON NAIJAGIST,that’s WHEN I CAN SAY AM HAVING ISSUES with PEOPLE.BUT FOR NOW,I CAN’T LET THEM DO THAT BEFORE IT BECOMES A NORMAL THING FOR THEM AND THEY USE IT TO MAKE SOMEONE TAKE THEIR LIFE.

Kc4life,sorry about the whole thing,I have no issue with anybody but as human, people must have issues with you especially when you are yourself.If i should unlock my razor sharp relations who I blocked from commenting here because of mouth that’s when i will take the blame.This guys are bullies,if i don’t stand against them they will think is cool or powerful and use it on the weak which might lead to suicide that’s why you can never see me correct anybody here unless you ask for me.Am part of a group that teach and campaign against bullying people.That’s why i feed them back the food they made for others for them to see how sweet it is because i keep seeing the faces of those that did commit suicide because of cyber bully.Just bear in mind that when you are not among the forward match group you automatically become a proud person or full of pride even the most hated person but i don’t care.didn’t you see i stopped my comments and the fool was busy making shameful joy that he stopped me with his other insecure sidekick even when the topic have nothing to do with me or any word close to me just as Dorothy asked.
I stopped posting comments completely just read the story and leave for PEACE to LEAD here since red is the problem ,YET THEY STILL CALLED ME EVEN WHEN AM NOT HERE,AM NOT JESUS THAT WILL TURN THE OTHER CHEEK FOR YOU TO SLAP AGAIN,NO.They missed me and called for me.Just sit back and enjoy the naijagist unscritp comedy for easing tension and don’t forget to vote it as the best comedy of the year coming out soon.
