According to NAN, the Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
 
”It is with a heavy heart that I regretfully announce that one of the pilots who successfully ejected from one of the F-7Ni aircraft that crashed earlier today has passed on.
 
”May his soul rest in peace. Additional details on the incident will be communicated,” Daramola said.
