NAF Helicopter Blade Kills Aircraftman
A blade of the Nigerian Airforce (NAF) helicopter has killed an
aircraftman in Bama, Borno State.
PRNigeria gathered that Aircraftman (ACM) Umaru Abdul Ganimu was
part of the NAF team actively engaged in counter-insurgency
operation in the North East.
The incident occurred in Bama in Borno state on Saturday.
ACM Ganimu Umar was passing through the side of the functioning
rotor when the blade chopped off his head.
The aircraft was recovered and taken back to the airbase without
any damage on tail rotor.
He has since been buried according to the Islamic rites at the
Maimalari Military Cemetery in Maiduguri after the family members
were duly informed.
