The Accident Investigation Bureau, on Thursday, said the preliminary report on the crash of a military aircraft in which the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, and 10 others died in Kaduna in May this year would be ready by next week. After the crash, the AIB was asked by the NAF to lead the investigation. Responding to a question on why the AIB had yet to release the report on the crash on Thursday, Olateru said, “Accident investigation takes time; an average of 18 months. The one you are talking about, recall that it’s a NAF aircraft, but the crash unfortunately happened at the civil airport. But within the next one week, the preliminary report will be ready.”Copyright PUNCH.
