An helicopter belonging to the Nigerian Military has crashed in Damareia subsurb in Yola, AIT reports online.
According to the report, the crash happened near a camp built for internally displaced persons in Yola State.
As at the time of compiling this report, the Nigerian Army has not released a statement as regards the helicopter crash.

Although the cause of the helicopter is still unknown, it was however gathered that the helicopter was on a patrol when the crash happened.
This is happening barely five days after some local fishermen reportedly found parts of Nigeria Air Force’s Alpha Jet (NAF 466) which disappeared on September 12, during routine operations in the northern part of Adamawa State in the River Benue.
The Nigerian military had said that the jet went missing while on a mission in Adamawa State.
Few days after the jet went missing, some residents of Gombi LGA, Adamawa said they saw the aircraft close to Gabun primary school before it may have crashed.
Meanwhile, the Boko Haram sect had claimed to have shot it down in a video in which they appeared to slaughter one of the pilots of the missing Alpha Jet.
