It is no more news that the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru, has died in an air crash along with some aides while on an official trip to Kaduna State on Friday evening.

While we await the official declaration of the cause of the plane crash, www.ojaomonews.com has however gathered from a reliable source at the Kaduna Airport that the plane seems to have crashed by heavy rainfall.

“The plane crash-landed on the runway because of a heavy downpour. That was what happened my brother. I am sure that was also the cause of the crash, probably, the heavy rainfall hindered their safe landing, but I will give you details later”, the source told Starnews Nigeria correspondent on phone.

Ojaomonews.com has further confirmed that his wife was also on board besides other top military officials initially reported.
