The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has clarified that it was one of its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that crashed in Kaduna, not a helicopter, as previously reported.

The incident occurred early Monday morning in Tami village, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Eyewitnesses initially reported seeing a NAF helicopter crash at around 5:00 a.m., causing significant alarm among local residents.

However, NAF spokesman Air Vice Marshal Edward Gabkwet confirmed in a statement that no helicopter was involved in the mishap.

“Contrary to reports on social media as well as on a handful of traditional media outlets that a NAF helicopter had crashed in Kaduna earlier today, July 1, 2024, be informed that no helicopter crash occurred.

Instead, a NAF Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) experienced a mishap after take-off for a mission at a location near Rumji Village and about 15 km from base,” the statement read.

The NAF has commenced a preliminary investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
