A Nigerian Air Force jet has been missing for two days after disappearing in the country’s far northeast, where troops are fighting Boko Haram insurgents, the military said on Sunday.
The Alpha Jet, with two pilots on board, left its base in Yola, Adamawa State, on what was described as a “routine operational mission” at about 10:45 am (local time) on Friday and had been expected back by midday the same day. Search and rescue teams are trying to track the location of the plane.
