Reps Demand Independent Probe into Fatal NAF Crash
The House of Representatives has demanded an independent investigation into the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft crash in Ondo State, which resulted in the deaths of all 25 individuals on board. This resolution followed an urgent motion by Alhassan Usman, who represents Kano State, during a plenary session.
Usman urged the Federal Government to enhance aircraft maintenance, ensure adequate military funding, and improve operational safety. He expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and highlighted the necessity for sustained investment in military aviation infrastructure.
Concerns were raised regarding inadequate funding, spare parts shortages, and logistical challenges that could jeopardize aircraft maintenance. Usman called for a comprehensive audit of military aircraft to identify safety gaps and recommend corrective measures.
Supporting the motion, Donald Ojogo from Ondo State emphasized the need for an independent probe due to conflicting claims about the crash. Babajimi Benson from Lagos State described the incident as a painful reminder of the risks faced by military personnel.
