A Nigerian Air Force surveillance helicopter that crashed in Badna, Chukuba ward of Shiroro Local Government Area in Niger State has been linked to terrorism. On Monday, August 14, the Nigerian Air Force said that it had received confirmation of the accident and had started an investigation to ascertain its likely cause.
However, other terrorists claimed they shot down the chopper with an AK-47 rifle in two minutes, a seventeen-second video that has gone viral online.
The video's Hausa-speaking narrator claimed that they belonged to the Dogo Gide group, one of the infamous gangs that terrorized portions of Niger State and killed several farmers and security personnel.
