INFORMATION ON CRASH OF A MILITARY AIRCRAFT
I regret to inform the general public that Air Traffic Controllers have informed me of the disappearance of a military aircraft with tail number NGR 931, enroute Lagos from Benin at 0913 hours earlier today. All efforts to raise the aircraft on radio proved abortive.
Subsequently information however confirmed that the military aircraft has crashed close to the Naval Base in Igbokoda, Ondo State. The wreckage has been located and search and rescue operations are ongoing.
Preliminary information suggests that there were 25 passengers and 7 crew members on board.
Whilst the control and regulation of military aircraft are completely outside the authority of the Ministry of Aviation, and Civil Aviation Authority, I have just spoken to the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke and pledged our total cooperation and assistance in the search and rescue efforts ongoing.
Further information on this unfortunate incident will be made available subsequently.
SAD NEWS: A Nigeria Air Force ATR-42 (NAF931) crashed in Ondo state during a routine flight from Lagos to Benin. 25 person including 7 crew members were onboard the flight. Search and rescue operations are currently ongoing.
May the souls of the departed rest in peace 🕯️
Amen

Oko loko pijo awe!!!
Mr. President, Sir.
On behalf of the men and women in uniform thank you Sir.
Thank you for the pay increase. Thank you for the new formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo, and Osun. Thank you for the barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi, and Kogi. Thank you for remembering that behind every soldier is a family waiting at home.
You said something that many leaders never say: "Every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too."
Sir, that sentence alone tells us you understand. You understand that when a soldier leaves his home at 4 a.m., his wife wakes up to an empty bed. You understand that when a soldier falls in the bush, a mother loses a son, a child loses a father. You understand that the uniform is worn by one man, but carried by an entire family.
This is what leadership looks like. Not just giving orders. Not just declaring wars. But standing behind the people who fight them. Supporting the families who wait. And investing in the future of the force.
We see the new barracks. We see the new formations. We see the salary alerts. And we are grateful.
But sir, we also ask for one more thing: keep going. Keep building. Keep equipping. Keep listening. Because the journey is not yet finished. And the enemy is still out there.
To the Commander-in-Chief we salute you. We appreciate you. And we will continue to serve with everything we have.
Nigeria will prevail. And you will not fight alone.
God bless the Armed Forces of Nigeria. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Over the past few days, servicemen and women of the Armed Forces have shared what the recent pay increase means for them and their families. I am glad it is making a difference.
This week, the Nigerian Army @HQNigerianArmy operationalised new formations in Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo and Osun. Our troops are now closer to vulnerable communities in these areas, strengthening our ability to respond swiftly and decisively when our people are threatened.
We are also fast-tracking the construction of new barracks and depots in Abuja, Ekiti, Ebonyi and Kogi, with Osun already completed. As we demand more from our men and women in uniform, we must do more to support them and their families.
Every deployment is a sacrifice made by a family too.
As our Armed Forces stand watch over Nigeria, my duty as Commander-in-Chief is to ensure they have the resources and support to do their job, and that Nigeria stands firmly behind the families waiting for them at home.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces

FACTs don’t lie: Ibos Agenda of 59 years ago was to capture Lagos but Victor Banjo diverted the troops to Ore and Okitipupa to save Lagos from being captured by the Biafra rebels.
