Nigerian Air Space Management Agency Grilled Over Report That Helicopters Ferry Terrorists And Arms To Destinations In North!

• Nigerian airspace security is suspected of conniving with terrorists to allow the helicopters go undetected.
• NAMA says it has all Nigeria’s airspace covered: Thus, unknown copters should not be able to fly undetected
• Is Nigeria’s north under attack from its government?

According to NewsRescue, an internet based news medium, helicopters have been reported to have been ferrying attackers and weapons around the north of Nigeria, most recently seen in the Katsina genocidal attack that claimed over 100 lives and destroyed whole towns. Choppers have also been seen carrying arms and fighters for Boko Haram in the northeast. Nigeria’s Aviation authorities are being quizzed on how these crafts can possibly be flying unidentified in the nations airspace. Are these army choppers and why is that they fly “undetected?”.

Helicopters reportedly flying in bandits and weapons into parts of the North could not have been doing that unless if their operators connive with officials, aviation experts told Daily Trust. They spoke in the wake of revelations made in the Senate last week that helicopters were seen landing at certain parts of the North, dropping attackers and their weapons.

“We have reports that helicopters were used to ferry the people who carried out attacks. They land in the forest and dropped the attackers,” Senator Abu Ibrahim said last week, days after bandits killed more than 100 people in his zone in Katsina State, the report said.
