A Nigerian military helicopter has reportedly crashed today in Adamawa State. The aircraft was reportedly on a surveillance mission in Damare around the Girei Local Government Area of the state when the incident occurred.

A Yola-based journalist told Premium Times that there were arms and ammunition on the helicopter, and that some foreigners were on board. “Immediately after the crash, soldiers were drafted to the scene to cordon off the scene,” he said.

The crash site is reportedly close to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) temporary camp, that is currently serving as a base for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the state. The military is yet to issue an official confirmation as regards the incident.
