[Cyborg Warlord @Admiral_Cyborg]

Thr NAF 931 (ATR 42-500MP, MSN 800) was manufactured in 2009.

It was subsequently delivered to the Nigerian Air Force on 30 March 2010.

So at the time of the 5 October 2026 crash, the airframe was approximately 17 years old, although it had been in Nigerian service for about 16½ years.

Some reports indicate that the aircraft was grounded for 3 years.

Nigeria!

Remembering our Fallen Pilots.

Squadron Leader Bello Mohammed Baba-Ari succumbed to internal injuries after ejecting from an F-7Ni fighter jet following a mid-air collision on September 28, 2018.

An Alpha Jet flown by Group Captain Abdulrasheed Bamidele Braimoh and Wing Commander Chimda Hedima went down near Kauri, in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State, on September 12, 2014, while conducting a combat mission against Boko Haram terrorists.

Wing Commander Hedima was captured by the insurgents and later killed.

The fate of Group Captain Braimoh remains unresolved. His remains were never recovered, and he was subsequently declared Killed in Action in accordance with Armed Forces of Nigeria regulations.

These outstanding warriors had a few things in common: love of country, passion for flying, and knowing they were fighting for a cause greater than themselves.
