Questions Over Passenger Load on Nigerian Air Force ISR Aircraft NAF 931
The Nigerian Air Force should clarify why NAF 931, an ATR-42MP configured for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, reportedly carried 19 passengers alongside a five-member crew. The aircraft is described as a key asset for counterterrorism operations in the North-East. Its specialised role raises questions about whether it was being used outside its intended operational purpose and who approved the passenger manifest. An independent investigation should establish the identities and official roles of those on board, whether safety and operational rules were followed, and whether any lapses contributed to the loss of lives. Relevant National Assembly committees should also seek answers from the Air Force.
