"This is getting out of hand. How often do you guys check the plane before flying? Just this year, we've recorded over 3 crashes."
"I think you guys need to be auditing your planes regularly and retrain some of your pilots."

"Those military Aircraft are mere flying coffins. Only the Presidential fleets are air-worthy! Rip."
@Alausa_ added:
"How many crashes this year? How can we live in a country where military assets crash regularly now it has cost the life of one of the most senior military officers. So sad."
In another report, the Nigeria First movement on Friday, May 21, alleged that there are well-orchestrated plans by some individuals to blackmail the immediate past chief of army staff Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai (retired) and other former service chiefs.
Speaking at a press conference attended by Legit.ng in Abuja, the secretary-general of the group, Richard Augustine said a grand plan is already in motion to belittle the personalities of the past service chiefs and their records while in office.
Augustine said Nigeria First is surprised that anyone in his or her right mind would harbour such a plot irrespective of the sacrifices made by the service chiefs during their tenure in office.
