The pilot of the Nigerian Air Force Intelligence Reconnaissance Aircraft which crashed in Abuja, on Sunday had complained of engine failure a few minutes after takeoff.
A source at the control tower made the disclosure on grounds of anonymity.
The source who is a senior official said there been regular flights from Abuja to Minna since the abduction of the Kangara students last week.
The source said, “The aircraft was on its way to Minna. Moments after, on getting to Bassa Local Government Area, he informed the control tower that he had experienced an engine failure.
“He was advised to return to the Abuja airport immediately but it crash-landed.”
