BREAKING NEWS Nigerian Air Force Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing in Makurdi

Today, 7th October, 2026, my community of Utur Tse-Igboji, Bar Council Ward, Makurdi along Welfare Quarters to Mopol 13 Ring Road, almost witnessed a tragedy.
By the grace of God, all lives on board were saved when a Nigerian Air Force helicopter made an emergency landing on our farmland due to a technical fault.
We all rushed to the scene to support the officers on board, and to the glory of God, they all came out alive. It would have been a double tragedy if the helicopter had crashed.
We thank God for sparing their lives.
Reporting live from the scene.May God protect our security officers.

@mfautoconsult @TojuWes Acting smart for X likes & impressions ?? 🤣🤣 … if you had a brain you would know that I referenced the P-3 Orion for its maritime surveillance capabilities as well as the fact that it’s still a turboprop like the ATR-42. Seating capacity has nothing to do with this.

[News18 @CNNnews18]
